Rosen Technology Canada
- Mentored software developers, using techniques like pair programming or feedback in the code reviews.
- Reviewed the designs created by the team developers, highlighted the good points and improvements that could be made, and ensured that the implementation was according to the design. Wrote coding standards and best practices guides.
- Created high-level designs of the artifacts to communicate to the team and with other teams.
- Communicated with other teams to prepare the integrations of components developed by different teams.
- Developed a web application in Angular, DevExtreme components, and D3.js to align data.
- Built a background worker to gather information from several sources to start a new analysis process with the data collected.

Senior Software Developer
2014 - 2022
RTRC Colombia, Ltda | ROSEN Group
- Developed a web app in Angular and a REST API using .NET Core to align in-line inspection signals. It calls a gRPC service to get the signals' alignment result from an algorithm created by data scientists in Python and shows the signals using D3.js.
- Built a REST API with .NET Core to transfer specific files worldwide to a specific location to be processed using the Aspera API.
- Created a REST API using .NET 6 to manage the workflow of the business process, integrating the automatic and interactive user steps. Automatic steps run asynchronously as background workers and are called using a RabbitMq queue.
- Worked in a multicultural team of 12 skilled professionals—data scientists, testers, UI/UX, and business specialists—to discover, analyze, and develop solutions for our client's needs in the most effective way.
- Developed a custom controls library in Angular to share the visual standard controls for the micro web apps.
- Built a web app with JavaScript and D3.js to compare ILI signals and laser scan signals from a visual perspective using data gathered from an oil and gas pipeline through several technologies.
- Worked using the Scrum Agile methodology with three-week-long sprints, including daily ceremonies, planning, review, retrospective, and refinement meetings.
- Used Azure DevOps to manage the application lifecycle management (ALM). The product owner created the PBIs, including bugs, which were handled by the team through Kanban. The source code was uploaded using Git, and the CI/CD was implemented.
- Wrote unit tests and integration tests for the REST APIs.

Experience
Field Verification Management System (FMS)
This project was for a company that checks the state of oil and gas pipelines. I worked as a full-stack developer with a back-end colleague.
There are several ways to check the state of a pipeline: the most common tech used is in-line inspection or ILI, and it consists in putting a device inside the pipeline that goes through the whole pipeline inspecting its walls and, at the end, when the device is pulled out from the pipeline, technicians can download the data from the device to be analyzed. Another technology is called laser scan: this tech uses a laser over the outside wall of the pipeline. The laser scan technology is more reliable, but it is more expensive and can be used only in small pipeline zones.
The company needed a tool to compare and align those two datasets and check how accurate the ILI is against laser scan inspection.
Four components were implemented on this app:
• The WebApp, using JavaScript and D3.js, for the datasets visualization
• A RestAPI with .NET Core to upload, store, and process the datasets
• An algorithm service in Python to process the laser scan data
• An image generator service using .NET Core to create the heatmaps displayed on the web app
Queues were used for components communication.
