The API exposed web socket functionality to dynamically connect customer service representatives to waiting customers.

Golang | Microservices | GRPC | Postgres | MS SQL Server | AWS EC2● Migrate monolithic server application to cloud provider● Preserve integrity of API contracts so that customer experience was not affected during migrationDesigned a microservice layer as a replacement for Cyfir Enterprise Server’s data storage mechanism. In contrast to its predecessor, the data layer scaled well under load, eliminating performance issues during peak load times.

- Created a regression test plan that standardized the level of acceptable functionality for the product. The new test plan exposed approximately 150% more program errors than had previously been found.- Revised the CyFIR user’s manual with emphasis on the user experience, suggesting specific changes that would allow users who had no previous knowledge of the software to jump in and use it more easily.

- Built a planning facilitator tool which reduced planning time by 50%. The tool streamlined the weekly planning process and removed the need for division leaders to perform mundane tasks.- Developed a web-based scheduling system which allowed division employees to resolve scheduling changes and conflicts instantly.

- Assisted the Director of Technology in managing the technological assets of all schools in the district.- Installed and configured the hardware and software for new workstations.
