Experience

Amazon RDS PostgreSQL Optimization

https://xhaven.io

I optimized an Amazon RDS PostgreSQL database with a CPU load of 100% most of the time. My work also included fixing queries, creating missing indexes, changing database parameters, and changing the Sequelize Node.js code in the back end. I used CloudWatch, Performance Insights, the PostgreSQL PERF profiling utility, and EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

In the end, the average database load dropped to 10%, with no spikes.

Digital Analytics Tool Based on BigQuery and TypeScript

http://livedocs.com

As the lead back-end developer for a cutting-edge SaaS digital analytics app, I spearheaded the development of a dynamic platform capable of seamlessly integrating data from various sources using APIs and database connections. My role involved crafting intricate analytic queries tailored for BigQuery, leveraging TypeScript to develop custom plugins for Fivetran, and fine-tuning the performance of our PostgreSQL database hosted on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). With a focus on efficiency and scalability, I played a pivotal role in enabling our users to generate insightful queries, reports, and data applications in a matter of seconds.

Digital Analytics Platform Based on Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift

I created SQLs for user and event segmentation, funnels, journeys, and retentions, using SQL and JavaScript UDTFs to deal with 300 million monthly records.

I used clustering, materialized views, and pre-aggregations to improve query execution time. A proprietary BQL language was created for easy interaction between the front and back ends. I made a BQL to SQL transpiler using Go, ANTLR4, AWS DynamoDB, AWS RDS Postgres, and AWS MSK, and a proprietary ingestion system using Go, Python, AWS Lambda, AWS EKS, Rudderstack, and Segment.

Compressed Natural Gas 12.4 Liter Heavy-duty Engine EURO VI Emission Certifications

I created a data warehouse that could manage ten TB of data generated in a couple of weeks under a very tight working schedule.
My process started by using an Oracle database configured as a data warehouse on-premise. I then used SQL and PL/SQL for the ETL and SQL for extracting the data.
Next, I performed a lot of SQL tuning for performance enhancement. Further improvements included implementing an Oracle Cloud-based data warehouse, along with cloud-specific tools. I also implemented Google Cloud and BigQuery and created Apache Beam DAG pipelines to increase the ETL speed.
We received two certifications for a 380 and 460 horse-power engine family.

Automotive Spare Parts Webshop

This project involved an Oracle APEX app that was tightly integrated with Oracle EBS R12. The app's purpose was to sell vehicle spare parts, deal with seeded and superseded spare parts, and expose 10 million parts.

My work included an integration via a RESTful API while using Express Carriers for shipping. I also integrated RESTful APIs with vehicle spare parts suppliers for quick replenishment and created RESTful microservices tailored for key customers.

My technology stack included Oracle RDBMS, APEX, Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS), SQL, PL/SQL, RESTful APIs, microservices, and Docker Compose.

Oracle EBS Implementation, Personalization, Customization, Extension, Workflow, and Analytics

I completed 10+ Oracle EBS implementations in financials, SCM, WMS, manufacturing, and services. I improved the system by making personalization and customizations. I also created extensions using APEX and introduced workflow changes.

I created a custom data warehouse, custom mobile data warehouse apps, EDI integrations with key accounts, B2B and B2C apps, integrations with express delivery companies, integration with POS and weighting scales, conveyors using CANopen, integrations with packaging and bottling lines, dock management, yard management, and fleet management. I implemented Power BI and Tableau analytics on Snowflake, BigQuery, RedShift, and Oracle ADW.

Database Migration for a Fintech Company

I performed MS SQL Server to Oracle migration for multiple database instances, which the customer inherited after multiple acquisitions. I also conducted database analysis, and application code, performed data types mapping, and modified stored procedures, triggers, and queries.

I worked on ensuring data integrity and compatibility, performed query optimization, and evaluated online and offline data migration to minimize downtime. With all of this, I also performed tests and validations. The customer preferred a SQL script approach and manually assisted.

Vehicle GPS Tracking SaaS Application

This project involved a Python Flask and PostgreSQL-based SaaS application meant for tracking vehicles via GPS. At the time, it managed over 10,000 vehicles, 10TB of data, and 20 billion records.

Initially, the app was built using Oracle APEX and Oracle RDBMS on-premise. Still, later on, we migrated it to OVH Cloud and, after a while, refactored it using only open source technologies such as OpenStreetMap for map tiles, geocoding, reverse geocoding, Traccar.org for GPS tracking, PostgreSQL, and Python.

It was a real challenge to make it run fast because of the huge amount of data, but we accomplished it via various SQL techniques.

We launched the app in 2008, and it is still working today.

External Candidate Database Scheduling Engine

I built a 100% PL/SQL scheduling engine integrated with the organization's Microsoft Exchange 365 Calendar Service.

I used PL/SQL, UTL_HTTP, wallets, Cloud Vault, and Microsoft Graph RESTful APIs for the calendar, mail, and attachments, along with Zoom and Slack APIs, OAuth2, and pre-authentication. I also solved performance issues for a 100,000+ users organization and an undisclosed number of booked meetings per day.

Custom Algorithms for an Oracle EBS 3PL Data Warehouse

I created pure SQL and PL/SQL algorithms as an extension for the Oracle EBS Warehouse module, which was meant for a 3PL implementation. It was a 500,000-square-foot warehouse with a wide variety of products (electronic appliances, food, beverages, cigarettes, raw materials, and meat) and several custom specs for receiving and shipping along with 20,000+ SKUs, 5,000+ orders per day, and 25,000+ order lines per day.

The successful implementation made the end users happy, and the client could get contracts signed with all prominent players from the local market.

Open-source ERP and Odoo Romanian Localization

I created 20+ Odoo apps/modules and ensured that they complied with Romanian regulations.

My work included creating a bill printer, XML receipts, VAT customization, currency rate updates, Romanian invoices, MRP costs, key accounts' SKUs, POS debranding, printer ZPL 2, stock analyses, stock expiration dates, and Romanian stock reports.

I used Python, XPath with QWeb, PostgreSQL, and SQL.
