- Introduced the concept and some implementations of the Strangler Pattern to allow the team to gradually migrate a legacy architecture to a more modern one over time, piece by piece.
- Actively coached other developers on different areas such as tools, design, and architecture.
- Introduced and applied concepts of hexagonal and onion architecture to better separate infrastructure and domain code, opening the door to easier maintenance in either layer and reuse of domain logic under different scenarios.
- Reduced daily ERP account sync time from eight hours to less than one hour for one of our biggest customers by introducing differential syncs with low-impact changes in legacy code.
- Improved execution of several daily long-running monolithic tasks by parallelizing processing across different workers, improving processing time and memory consumption per machine.
- Introduced Kotlin as a JVM alternative language for some of our newer back-end services.
- Worked closely with the principal engineer and led DevOps to refine architectural decisions and create the needed infrastructure/tools that allow other engineers to apply them.
- Proposed changes in our code review and merge strategy processes to make pull requests smaller, more frequent, more focused, and easier to review.
