Work Experience

Technical Lead

2021 - 2022
JKT
  • Initiated and led a discovery project that resulted in an improved understanding of architecture, code organization, and data structures. I identified areas for optimization and potential enhancements, which led to around $2 million in revenue.
  • Conducted comprehensive analysis of existing applications, resulting in a clear understanding of their architecture, operations, and integrations, improving the delivery quality of the team by 80%.
  • Proposed a Progress 4GL upgrade and a plan for the app server to migrate to Progress Application Server for OpenEdge (PASOE), reducing analysis efforts by 90% and acquiring two migration projects, which led to around $5 million in revenue.
  • Created a testing strategy and a modernization roadmap for 2022, ensuring a smooth transition.
  • Built risk mitigation strategies during application component upgrades, minimizing potential disruptions and ensuring seamless operation considering all the 42 API integrations in scope.

Wells Fargo
  • Researched and developed core application components using PASOE to process auto loans.
  • Modernized the application that integrates with .NET microservices reducing decision time from 40 to 12 seconds.
  • Created a generic web handler service to handle JSON requests from microservices for HTTP methods, which helped reduce code redundancy by 70% and increased load performance by 37%.
  • Implemented a security model at the Progress meta schema level, defining user domains to restrict database access based on respective domains. This resulted in achieving a perfect score of 100 points in security testing.
  • Introduced domain-driven design (DDD) to modernize core business functionalities as microservices using PASOE, which reduced development efforts by 50%.

Experience

Interactive Web Application in Azure Cloud

This project involved creating an interactive web application in the Azure cloud platform. I analyzed various demographic factors, including household size, income range, and the presence of children, to identify which ones affected customer engagement. I found that most of the units sold were purchased by customers with incomes between $50,000 and $74,000 and that the largest units sold were bought by customers living in two-bedroom houses. However, there were fewer units purchased by families of four, so the store may want to offer incentives and discounts for families to increase sales. The "K-nearest neighbor" algorithm is a simple machine-learning approach well-suited for this problem.
