• Led the development of internal tooling to automate the delivery of audience files from our data warehouse to external partners. A part of this tool includes a UI that enables our commercial team to input a list of filters and values that are transformed into a valid SQL query that can return data from our data warehouse. This tool has helped reduce tech ownership of the audience delivery process, and has increased Journera’s capacity to deliver our highest demand product.• Owner of the Journera administrative portal used by our partners to manage subscriptions and publish data to our platform. Added new features and integrations into the portal including: data visualization for partners via Powered by Looker, and an interactive tool to help external developers learn how to use the Journera API. I’ve also made improvements to our data import features, endpoint management system and more.• Worked on new features, improvements and bug fixes throughout our real time data pipeline. Added a customer opt-out feature that enables partners to upload a list of customers whose data they would like removed from our system. Implemented a lease manager that locks the deployment of applications that are actively processing files or doing other important work in our system.• Migrated our portal from CircleCI to Buildkite. Wrote deploy scripts and pipeline yaml files. Made improvements to speed up our deployment time. Helped our DevOps team develop an internal tool to automate the provisioning of permissions for tools used internally such as: AWS, Buildkite and other internal applications.• Led the development and execution of a new recruiting process for our Front-End Software Engineer position. Created questions for our technical interview and led interviews for all of the candidates entering our pipeline.
