➤ Used React Context API and the observer pattern with custom hooks to selectively subscribe components in various levels of nesting and globally manage state for optimized minification, response and less verbose code.➤ Leveraged Express.js to create a responsive developer environment to streamline and handle concurrent requests made by the sandbox environment to connect and publish to Confluent’s Kafka cluster demonstrating real-time message re-processing.➤ Followed the OOP paradigm by reusing existing functionality implemented by KafkaJS and repurposing methods to create a variety of error-handling strategies and containerized features to mimic syntax synonymous with other Kafka clients. ➤ Implemented Jest, Supertest and Enzyme for test-driven development to decrease bugs, predict behaviour and to create clean, simple and effective code that satisfies requirements with minimal code bloat.➤ Integrated TypeScript by statically typing codebase, creating interfaces, and encapsulating properties and methods to avoid runtime errors and enhance code readability.➤ Constructed documentation to assist users with specific use cases of Kafka-Penguin for error handling and debugging to allow seamless integration into pre-existent projects that already are using Kafka to manage message queues.➤ Engaged in agile development by reporting to project manager work in progress and upcoming goals during daily stand-ups.➤ Employed MaterialUI to give real-time feedback in the way of loading components and backdrops to improve the user experience during asynchronous operations such as accessing message queues and retrieving cluster data.➤ Product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs (opensourcelabs.io).

➤ Utilized WebSocket connect protocol (TCP) to reduce latency and establish a bi-directional connection between the client and server which allowed a real-time communication pipeline between all concurrent users.➤ Built multiple Postgres database tables by enforcing strict schemas to store relational data of users for quick retrieval by multiple concurrent users and to.➤ Used Redux for global state management by using actions to containerize functions that would make asynchronous API calls and allow code maintainability.

➤ Used MongoDB to create a NoSQL database for its flexible data structure models to persist user session information and implement CRUD server controllers, allowing for a more consistent user experience.➤ Leveraged OAuth to authenticate users via a trusted third party, nullifying any security risks inherent to storing long password hashes and allowing a smoother login experience for users.➤ Deployed Express.js by creating middleware that handled and routed requests to the GitHub API with appropriate user access token to prevent rate limiting and timeouts.

➤ Implemented React Router by declaratively composing navigational components to create an accessible responsive single page application allowing for constant data continuance and compatibility with modern web browser bookmarking.➤ Set up WebPack to create a dev environment with hot module reloading for quicker debugging and developer efficiency.➤ Incorporated Sass by implementing style variables and writing distinct stylesheets for different React components to be preprocessed into one compiled CSS stylesheet to enhance stylesheet readability and decrease developer repetition.

Performed for events, led sessions, recorded on albums, toured with groups, instructed students on piano, saxophone, flute and clarinet.
