SwellioA website where surfers can sign up to receive text notifications about wave conditions:-- Wrote an algorithm that retrieves and quantifies waves data from Surfline’s API and determines if live surf conditions meet users’ minimum quality threshold for notification-- Reverse engineered Surfline’s API to retrieve spot-specific data, enabling users to pick and choose which surf break conditions they want notified-- Utilized node-cron in conjunction with twilio to check the wave data periodically throughout the day and send texts to users if necessary, ensuring that users are still notified if the waves change suddenly during the day

Atellier SystemsA multi-layered and fully web-scaled backend microservice:-- Reduced latency in the read-heavy system from 2.7s to < 5ms by re-factoring server-side dataoperations and performing MySQL table storage and query optimizations-- Executed stress and load testing using k6, loader.io, and AWS Cloudwatch to identify bottlenecks-- Deployed multiple EC2 micro instances containing dockerized Express servers behind an Nginx load balancer to sustain 1000 RPS, achieving a 500% increase in throughput

NextStopA travel site where users can book flights, hotels, and experiences:-- Led team decisions on the tech stack and the overall system architecture, and ensured team members were consistent with build tools, linters, workflow, and commits-- Designed and developed a flight-searching RESTful API in Node with comprehensive Jest / Supertest coverage to ensure code reliability and easy refactoring when necessary

Project CatwalkA client-facing retail web portal where users browse and interact with product detail:-- Engineered the top-most module on the product detail page, including an image gallery carousel with both expanded and zoomed-in viewing functionality, as well as a sidebar that guides the user through selecting a specific style, size, and quantity to add to their cart--Encapsulated business logic in React Higher Order Components and leveraged their functionality in conjunction with CSS styled components and media queries to implement a responsive application design that optimizes with window resizing and client device type--Employed TDD in writing extensive Jest / Enzyme test suites for the application and developed a continuous testing and deployment pipeline using CircleCI
