Biometric Recognition company for Games and Gaming Communities. During the period I worked at GamerSafer I was able to rebuild the entire product from the ground up (both backend and frontend). I aimed at creating a new development methodology and a technology that's both scalable, highly available and highly resilient.- Researched and rebuilt the product’s backend completely using node.js, typescript and AWS serverless products like AWS Lambda, API Gateway and DynamoDB. Applied Clean Architecture principles and TDD. This made the backend immediately scalable and resilient and allowed us to scale to zero, which is very interesting for an early stage startup.- Re-architected the infrastructure using IaC by leveraging AWS Cloud Development Kit and automated deployments and test runs giving engineers the confidence to push to prod as much as possible.- Created a new mobile application from scratch using React Native (focusing on both android and ios) with high unit test coverage and a unique design system project.- Engineered 2 new products, the company’s Discord Bot that allowed Discord servers to authenticate their users using facial recognition and a new tournament management system, both using Elixir and the Phoenix Framework.
