Vehicle Routing SimulationDeveloped a new application to enable non-technical users to run and understand vehicle routing simulations.Designed and implemented a number of RESTful endpoints using Java/Spring and DynamoDB.Enabled the team to build a UI for a new application using previous knowledge of frontend work in React/Typescript. Sharing knowledge and best practices as the only engineer with frontend experience.Migrated the existing deployment pipeline to Terraform, allowing the team to create new microservices more quickly and easily.EcommerceDiscovered and implemented a new reviews feature on a Spring microservice, involving creating and extending new APIs. Unblocking the uptake of reviewing functionality for a number of clients.Mentored a more junior engineer, who had never programmed in Java/Spring before. They were able to complete this piece of work in a timely manner and to a high standard. This led to me receiving an award for collaboration.Migrated React with Redux components and tests from Javascript to Typescript.Automated Warehouse Data AnalysisAnalysed and improved the performance of automated warehouse systems.Performed analysis in Python with pandas, numpy and matplotlib to identify issues with inconsistency in data. This allowed me to identify the cause of the issues and unblocked further analysis.Developed a data pipeline to get unstructured data into BigQuery using Java, Google Cloud Functions and Apache Spark. This exponentially improved the speed of access to data for analysis.Internal Testing PlatformContributed to the development of an end to end test platform for all applications in the fulfilment department.Produced a new containerised frontend application with Typescript, React, and Docker. This vastly improved user experience and reduced maintenance development time.Created an automated CI-CD pipeline on Gitlab to package and deploy the application to on prem K8s, and later, AWS.

I worked in the Web Content team collecting information on the council's websites and representing this in a spreadsheet which could be used to further support policy within the council. This required looking through data on accessibility and privacy risks. Along with this main project I also assisted on optimising the search functionality on the council website.
