- Extended the data model to support new features, dynamic components, and new content types.
Full-Stack Web Developer
EQIP
- Developed a PDF manipulation module that converted PDF files into an array of images, extracted text, and indexed files and their contents using Elasticsearch. Files could be browsed and displayed with a web-based interactive viewer.
- Designed and implemented a complex attendee registration flow that involved the integration of many online payment gateway APIs, like POST-based, REST, WCF, and more.
- Wrote a script that migrated information from a complex multi-table SQL database into a document-based NoSQL database. The task involved maintaining reference constraints, reorganizing data, and calculating the aggregates.
- Created a real-time social media aggregator with an integrated custom moderation engine and a context-sensitive sorting algorithm in order to identify the most relevant social media posts.
- Supported a task scheduler to initialize, schedule, run, and cancel jobs. Provided these services to other applications and users alike.
Full-Stack Web Developer
Inworx / Smartix
- Designed the architecture and coded a CMS for a multi-tenant white-label POS. It involved creating the web app that displayed the stored contents and the content administrator and editor featuring a wide array of custom controls.
- Implemented a mechanism for a white-label website by parsing and caching LESS files that had been previously filled in with customer-defined variables.
- Implemented a common asset storage and retrieval mechanism. These assets consisted of images, documents, and plain or HTML-formatted text.
- Improved the user experience by keeping the user aware of his or her progress. The polling mechanism was replaced by another system where the server pushed notifications to the client.
