Otto is an open-source, web-based, and automated ETL (extract, transform, load) pipeline tool for small engineering teams that need to wrangle and make sense of critical business data that's stored in multiple different siloed databases.• Designed and built a user interface using React, React Flow and Material UI that allows users to create, modify and execute node-based workflows where each node contains ETL specific metadata• Constructed a system that allows users to transform multiple sources of extracted data by submitting their own arbitrary custom JavaScript code to the backend using the CodeMirror code editor and Node.js VM• Designed a recursive algorithm using JavaScript promises and memoization that enabled the execution of parallel tasks and increased a workflow’s maximum nodes from 5 to 30+• Developed a workflow execution scheduler using Node-Cron that automatically runs workflows at specific intervals and reschedules future executions in the event of a network fault or server restart• Implemented real-time execution log streaming from the backend to the frontend via server-sent events which empowers users to diagnose workflow failures and bottlenecks• Developed a Node.js/Express backend that orchestrates the scheduling, validation, execution, error handling, and monitoring of workflow nodes• Containerized the application using Docker, eliminating the need to set up databases/environment variables and resulting in a 50% reduction in installation and configuration time• Led agile standups, sprint planning sessions and weekly retrospectives for a four-person remote team• Authored a case study on Otto’s problem domain, architecture, challenges, and design decisions
