I conducted extensive research and data sourcing to lay a strong foundation for the application's functionality. I designed, and developed the service from ideation. While the specific purpose of the application remains undisclosed, it is composed of microservices orchestrated by Kubernetes and written inGolang, along with PSQL databases and a Next.js frontend using Typescript. The application communicates through gRPC, facilitated by an Envoy proxy for frontend interactions. Deployed on AWS, it leverages a range of services for optimal functionality. The development environment includes essential tools like VSCode and GitLab, with comprehensive CI/CD pipelines and Terraform for infrastructure as code. A Caddy reverse proxy manages internal network connections, and the front-end design is being developed using Figma. With a B2C focus, scalability is a key consideration in the application's development.

I acquired expertise in aligning technology solutions with business objectives and goals. As a leader of the development team, I oversaw the successful design and implementation of technology solutions customised to our broker client's specific business requirements, which were utilised within a major financial institution. This involved managing a program consisting of three distinct projects.1 - Enhance the security, reliability, usability of an outdated live trading platform with 60,000 users that relied on a LAMP stack. A highlight is an issue I fixed which saved just under $700,000 in potential damages in a single hour.2 - Create and configure a white-label MT5 solution, customised to the client's specifications for a seamless, branded trading experience.3 - Provide a mobile front-end trading application that met industry standards, delivered an intuitive user experience, was compatible with the client's existing systems and designed to match their requirements.
