Experience

Salesforce Integrator

https://github.com/abettke/salesforce-broker
This is a basic broker server that integrates with existing Salesforce organizations. Simply specify the organization details in the environment, install the appropriate certificate into the Salesforce organization, and then run the server to act as a middleware broker for third-party applications.

Graphene-Django | Open Source Contribution

https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene-django/pull/603
This is my contribution to the open-source community library graphene-django. This library acts as an integration layer between Django and the python implementation of GraphQL, graphene. My pull request here was made to address how the library handled Django Proxy Models. Before my fix, the library would hard throw errors when trying to use the library with proxy models. I addressed this issue by updating the code to correctly handle proxy models the same way as base models.
