Work Experience
Software Engineer
Symphony
- Contributed to an in-production pay-as-you-go platform with 2+ million customers and 30,000+ users.
- Used Java and Spring Boot cloud-based microservices on an Angular front-end application.
- Acted as a back-end developer, developing and maintaining core microservices while integrating with third-party services, including various SMS and mobile money payment integrations.
- Created a custom Java annotation as a neat solution to specific reporting business logic.
- Wrote some scaffold bash scripts for easier bootstrapping of some similar microservices.
Software Developer
Misija
- Engaged in many projects with various clients, mainly using PHP (Laravel) and Vue.js.
- Contributed to card payment gateway integrations, mobile money integrations, and sending SMSs and emails.
- Proposed handling simple repetitive CRUD operations using a generic approach, which considerably reduced time for adding new models to logic. This resulted in a closed-source Laravel package, and it was used as an internal admin panel builder.
Experience
PAYG Platform
I handled many microservices, such as accounting, reporting, and CRM. I created integrations with payment and SMS providers and other third-party services. I also worked remotely in a distributed team using the Agile methodology, communicated with product owners, project managers, and other team members, and operated under on-call rotation off-hours to support critical issues.
SMS Payment System
I developed and maintained the whole system. I implemented a database to fit requirements, wrote back-end logic to handle SMS processing, and communicated with mobile providers, external APIs, and software using this system for charging.
Online Payment Service
I worked on IEEE conference ticket purchases and handled the back end. I designed and implemented database solutions and web APIs for retrieving data from the front-end application. I also wrote logic for processing those requests, communicating with the transaction ID service, and returning a response to the front-end application.
Event Reservation System
I worked on the back end, implementing the database, specifying relationships and business logic, handling user authentication, and providing APIs for the mobile application. I also implemented different features on the CMS, including importing guest lists from Excel files or raw lists, sending invitations to guests by email, generating QR codes for guests, and sending event reminders. Additionally, I worked on features that presented all relevant data to event admins in the CMS and an external API that handled communication with the printer connected to wifi for requests to print.
