- Independently developed a generalised Bluetooth device setup process in our React Native app that streamlines installation of tire pressure sensors, humidity sensors and vehicle trackers; with the ability to meet the needs of future products and services. This has reduced the workload of business representatives from having to manually setup devices for clients, saving up to 15 minutes of time per device- Worked with a backend engineer to design an automated subscription management system (utilising a third-party payment provider) that keeps track of all payments for our subscriptions and addons. This has replaced the existing labour intensive and error-prone process, improving the integrity of the companies billing system- Optimised a critical backend algorithm in JavaScript for fetching and processing IoT sensor data from O(n2) to O(n) time. This substantially decreased server processing, allowing customers to send larger query ranges (eg. from days to weeks) and receive results significantly faster (in some cases wait times have reduced from minutes to seconds)- Built and designed two dashboards in React (web) and React native (mobile) with a UI designer that display sensor data in meaningful ways- Designed a solution to cache results of frequent geo look-up API calls to reduce load on the servers by a factor of up to 20, saving money on AWS and Google bills

Interned with the legendary Jira Service Management DC Team- Created and documented a new frontend chaperone component that is designed to work in both legacy and current areas of the front end, taking chaperone implementation time down to a couple minutes instead of hours- Created an email audit log keeping in mind accessibility for all users by making it colour blind, screen reader and keyboard friendly- Learnt and followed testing best practices for both front and back end features- Created a system to track and measure personal growth which has already helped me improve in feedback giving, time management and communication
