In this role, I functioned as a back-end infrastructure engineer. My primary function was the development of AWS Lambda functions to manage opt-in/opt-out email records across an enterprise spanning multiple online retail properties.

Redesigned and rebuilt the front & back-ends of Flypoll , a online polling application(http://www.flypoll.com) to utilize WebSocket technology for up-to-the-second precision real-time functionality. This site was built on the back-end with Python/Django, making use of Django channels to provide web-socket functionality for real-time updates. The front-end was built in React, and utilized the Django-Channels web-socket server to retrieve poll data, and interact with the site. The site was unusual in that it required customized session code, provided via the use of JWTs, that allowed anonymous users to vote, and keep track of their anonymous votes they chose to create an account, but would then also transfer their anonymous voting record to their account.Technologies used: React/Redux, JavaScript, JavaScript Web Tokens (JWT), HTML, CSS, Python, Django, Django Channels, WebSockets, JSON, and Responsive/Mobile design.
