Experience
Architecture of the Compliance Platform
CI/CD Pipelines on Red Hat OpenShift with Tekton and Argo CD
CI/CD Pipeline for a Compliance Platform
The project involved:
• Supply chain management (SCM) switching from Subversion to Git.
• Decomposing the whole monolith into many deliverable components.
• Re-engineering the database layer, determining object dependencies, and developing a database installation tool.
• Developing a set of tools that would orchestrate the components' deployment, such as starting and stopping servers, suspending and resuming jobs, and wait conditions.
The project brought about significant changes in the productivity of the team:
• It unlocked the resources bound to manual release preparation, which cost tenths of working days of several specialists a year.
• It made the development and change management make an organized effort.
• It allowed for the delivery to be more frequent and flexible.
Business Intelligence and Reporting
It was a greenfield project that:
• Shed light on the daily operations of the business.
• Computed the quantitative and quality metrics on an ongoing basis.
• Consequently improved the decision-making processes.
• Introduced a simple prediction model that could identify potential bottlenecks in the network.
Optimization of Distribution Networks
The delivery was made by employing techniques such as statistical modeling, graph theory algorithms, discrete event simulations, multiple vehicle routing problems, traveling salesman problems, and simulated annealing.
Schengen Information System
The delivery comprised various IT analyses and design documents, which defined the information system's structure and behavior.
Furthermore, the delivery included the test cases and user acceptance criteria for each part of the system.
Online Banking Solution
In terms of my contribution to the overall solution, I delivered components that took care of online financial transaction processing, authorization, authentication, and digital signature verification of batch transaction files.
At that time, the solution was state-of-the-art and years ahead of the competition, and we were all incredibly proud of it.
