Software Engineer at D2L

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

Created backend services using NodeJS on AWS Lambda, with build pipelines for version dependencies, eslint and AVA test coverage.Used DynamoDB databases for greater data visibility, and DynamoDB TTL triggers for automated scheduled events, running in parallel at minimal cost.Designed and implemented cloud microservices using infrastructure-as-code tools (using both Terraform and Serverless in separate projects).Worked on continuous delivery pipelines to help install and update running product services on EC2 instances in AWS.Created automated internal services for minimizing waste. Tooling was designed to clean up unused build artifacts that helped bring storage costs from $500,000 to $3,000 annually.Worked on building internal tooling that helped facilitate build artifacts for development usage.Created architecture proposals, designed infrastructure for automated CI/CD services that helped improve autoscaling and minimize cost.Extensive experience with networking and administration on VM instances using Linux and Windows server.Worked on Devops engineering projects. Created automated CI/CD tools using Jenkins and GitHub-Actions.Worked on infrastructure to generate AMI with custom configuration using packer running Amazon-EBS builder.The AMI generated from build artifacts improve elasticity and availability of services. Product initialization uses AMIs to instantly create running EC2 instances to meet uptick in demand as opposed to having to overprovision for demand projections. AMIs also helped provide developers with build instances on-demand with less latency for use in development, and performance testing.Created monitoring pipelines using CloudWatch to categorize and monitor CI builds and running services. Created Slack-integration hooks for alarms and error-reporting to facilitate failure-investigation.Participated in on-call rotations, maintaining mission-critical services and investigating build failures.

Software Engineer - Infrastructure and Devops

Designed backend services using infrastructure-as-code tools such as Serverless and Terraform.Created NodeJS backend services using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB and S3 buckets.Designed architecture for a REST API wrapper for high-load services.

Software Engineer - Cloud Corporate Services

Worked on front-end application frameworks (ES6, React, Typescript, Web-components) to create robust customer-facing applications.Developed client-side systems (e.g GraphQL, Hypermedia) that optimize network fetching from the backend.Used state-management tools (e.g Mobx, Redux) to build dynamic tools that constantly fetch and update user-state from backend services.Worked on designing front-end bundling pipelines (e.g Webpack, roll-up) with minimal latency.

Software Engineer - Product Development

- Lead development project, created technical design reports and API Architecture specifications.• Created a Front-end platform, which tracks and maintains viral campaigns and assigned influencers.• Designed and implemented a fully-fledged dynamic analytics platform, which tracks and organizes data intoinsights and graphs using React and Victory.• Created a content editor to build, distribute and track viral social media content.

Uprise.ai

Software Developer

- Worked on the Amazon Flex program, which works to save 30% of logistics costs due to last miletransportation.• Fully designed and integrated a backend system with Java and Spring framework.• Researched analytics systems, implementations of serial communication technologies and published technicalreports that helped drive decisions for the Last Mile team.• Developed an analytics module that helped track and analyze the usage behavior of customers from over 30cities.• Utilized a service oriented architecture (SOA) to enable features to the team’s services, such as providingservice locations and time-zones to delivery associates.• Investigated and helped in fixing technical bugs, more specifically with spring dependency injection in production deployment.• Implemented a DynamoDB local database implementation for safer and easier integration testing.

Amazon

Software Development Engineer

- Tracked bugs, created tasks, participated in code reviews and pushed code to production using Phabricator.• Designed and implemented front end interfaces in React.• Worked with MyelTM, a custom-built client-based model architecture inspired by BackboneJS, to present,update and synchronize model structures in web applications.• Configured CoffeeScript-React JSX & LESS preprocessing and static asset generation using Webpack.• Managed page routing and navigation using React Router.• Prepared and ran unit and integration tests using Jest and Enzyme.• Wrote modular UI component styling in LESS.• Worked on server backend infrastructures in Tornado (Python).• Designed API endpoints, created models and managed account ACL permissions for models in SQLAlchemy.• Created PostgreSQL database migrations to extend backend functionality in Alembic.• Pushed new features, fixed bugs and refactored components in the mobile client for IOS and Android.• Worked on the the SketchTM drawing mechanism in the mobile client code in IOS (Objective-C).• Optimized network throttling performance and worked with local mobile storage on the Android mobileenvironment (Java).• Worked with the Google V8 Internals used in the JavaScript runtime on the mobile environment, usingJavascriptCore on iOS and the V8 engine on Android. The mobile application started processes that run JavaScript code, which allowed a consolidated cross-platform CoffeeScript codebase that runs on both IOS and Android. (this setup has significant differences and better performance advantages to React-Native).• Helped in the process of migrating the existing codebase to Typescript JSX (TSX).

Encircle

Software Engineer

- Developed a social media application using React Native in order to create a cross-platform codebase that is performant and behaves uniformly on both IOS and Android systems.• Used Redux to create and manage a universal state in order to keep track of which pages the user has liked and help provide pages that are specifically curated to the user’s preferences.• Designed a custom scrolling component that allows vertical and horizontal paged scrolling on both platforms using the Animated library by performing low-level manipulations that provide greater flexibility as opposed to the built-in native ScrollView components that are in the standard Android and IOS library.• Designed a custom system to delegate user touches across the entire application in order to grant finer control over page manipulation as opposed to letting the touches get handled by the currently visible view.• Designed a custom routing mechanism that instantiates a tree structure for the application content from a JSON resource that is fetched from an API endpoint. This mechanism allowed the content served to be dynamically changed without restricting the structure of the content that could be served or requiring developers to push updates for content changes. This translates to greater flexibility, increased reliability and reduced development costs.• Wrote the codebase in Flow/FlowType in order to enforce proper proper coding practices and help prevent many common bugs through comprehensive type-checking.
