Experience
HR App for a Company with 12,000 Employees
I was the full-stack lead developer in the project, although I mainly focused on the back end. I designed the API, microservice architecture, and base deployment methods while ensuring other developers followed the best practices and testing. I also conducted grooming and peer review sessions.
Truck Scheduling tool - 2015
The tool to handle that was a grid-style list of trucks, truckers, and types of trucks associated with an address and an order of execution.
People were on a card wall dashboard to visually represent the day.
We decided to make an app doing just that.
I conceived it from start to finish, given some specs. It was an innovation and side project acclaimed by the company.
Database: SQL Server 2008 then 2016
Click-Once app deployed locally on servers.
Truck Scheduling tool - 2020
A Go and Angular drag-and-drop web app (SPA) that allows planning employees to schedule truck waste collection.
The tool to handle that was a grid-style list of trucks, truckers, and types of trucks associated with an address and an order of execution.
People were on a card wall dashboard to visually represent the day.
Due to the success of its previous iteration and the lack of time to maintain and upgrade it, I was given free credits to modernize the app
I chose Go as the back-end language, its first use in the company, while Angular was used for the front-end.
I did an MVP to show the potential of the new tech. It was a success, and a junior front-end developer then joined me.
Docker was used for easier deployment.
