Experience

  • Kloud9

    A development portal platform that enabled developer efficiency at ADP for around 6,000 developers.

    I led the core platform development to enable micro frontends and some initial domain services, including DNS, EC2, firewall, and CICD management, and AWS access-group synchronization.

    This project entailed sunsetting existing service portals and exposing them through Kloud9 via the micro frontend framework I developed.

    I also worked on enabling product updates to consumers via Webex chatbot.

  • Web Component Registry (WCR)

    WCR is a platform that enables development teams to leverage an infrastructure to build and deploy their web components on ADP infrastructure with ease. It provides real-time environmental variable customization and access-based control for interacting with projects in the system. It was exposed via API, UI, and CLI that development teams could easily integrate with their workflows. Service Connect is currently deployed using this system.

    This project was my brainchild at ADP, which I owned end to end.

  • Service Connect

    I was one of the technical leaders on the Service Connect product that ADP's product fleet uses as the primary support communication tool. I worked on scaling the product architecture to support millions of requests a day. To achieve that, I used microservice architecture in .NET Core and developed a yeoman template for different services so other developers could easily accomplish service creation. We leveraged Splunk for metric gathering (i.e., dashboards via logs) and real-time incident notification via PagerDuty.

  • Planet Beast
    https://planetbeast.io

    Planet Beast is a play-to-earn game I built from scratch that enabled NFT minting for custom-created game characters.

    The game platform is currently being built and will leverage the NFTs in it. It leverages MetaMask to connect to the website and allows users to mint the available game characters as ERC-721 tokens with a limitation of seven per address. I leveraged a node from Alchemy to connect to the Ethereum blockchain.
