» Utilized KafkaJS to query Kafka clusters for info on brokers, topics, producers, and consumers, asynchronously returned as promises, to allow users to view cluster status and messages cached by topic, streamlining the process of debugging clusters» Architected a sample Kafka cluster using Docker to containerize services, Zookeeper to manage broker topology, and Prometheus to monitor metrics so that prospective users could test the application before connecting it to their cluster» Constructed a responsive frontend with React class components and React Router to persist complex state and cache messages pulled from Kafka while minimizing render time across multiple application views and ensuring intuitive navigation» Implemented the Plotly.js graphing library to display a multitude of dense Kafka metrics fetched from the Prometheus API in clear and accessible charts which allow the user to easily adjust scale according to their needs» Created a Node.js application powered by Electron and bundled for desktop use on Windows and Linux, keeping user data secure on their local system while leveraging the vast library of Node and JavaScript packages» Collaborated with a team of engineers, managing version control with GitHub and prioritizing work through scrums and Trello.» Developed under tech accelerator OS Labs (opensourcelabs.io)

» Tested and debugged hybrid and electric vehicle powertrain electronic control unit software written in C» Co-developed a VBA-based, Ford-internal test scripting application for executing complex and millisecond-precise vehicle software tests with a simple GUI and connections to the API of ATI Vision, an automotive software prototyping tool» Created MATLAB scripts to analyze recorded vehicle data and to simulate powertrain capability, fuel economy, etc

» Utilized server-side caching to store responses from external APIs, minimizing the required number of external resource fetches and improving the response time and performance of the server» Implemented React-Redux with Hooks to create a single source of truth in the frontend, managing state changes using the observer design pattern with micro-actions to ensure the integrity of state data across components and simplify debugging» Applied a NoSQL database to efficiently store and manipulate data using the key-value pair storage architecture and to leverage the flexible schema for rapid iteration of the data model while allowing for future horizontal scalability

» Implemented Open Authorization using the Passport Node.js middleware library for Express, which streamlined the development process of creating OAuth server endpoints and gave users the option to log in without new credentials» Utilized Jest and Supertest to write unit tests to ensure intended functionality of the codebase including verifying responses from all server routes and validating communication between server and database, supporting the integration of new features» Employed a NoSQL database with Mongoose object data modeling to store results of prior travel searches in an object structure without large tables, allowing users to view their search history and saving on time-consuming external API calls» Constructed functional React components leveraging the virtual DOM to efficiently manage view re-renders and Hooks to promote modular design and code testability while also improving readability and reducing the quantity of boilerplate code

» Built an Express.js REST API to handle requests for static files as well as calls to user information and flashcard database tables using custom modularized and scalable middleware without the need for extensive boilerplate» Selected and constructed a PostgreSQL database to store flashcard information and authorize user access to sets of flashcards based on set ownership and public/private flags by leveraging SQL’s relational table joins» Utilized React Hooks and Material UI to build clean and accessible display components capable of holding and manipulating state and altering render views in response to user input, and to speed up the frontend development process
