Sandbox Services
For this project, I assisted in designing and developing core functionality and integrating the first services supported by the app. In the initial version, users were allowed to interact with the application through a CLI developed in Python that was created by the company and which I helped integrate with our product in collaboration with my other team members.
Work Queues
I contributed to the full-stack implementation of the solution. I helped develop the back-end services that handle task production and assignment in a performant and scalable way. I also assisted in implementing a software development kit (SDK) for our developers so that they could communicate with our service without knowing any implementation details. And finally, I helped develop the front-end interface for users to create and manage service instances in their applications.
Schema Validation
I assisted in developing and designing an application that is in charge of storing and versioning schemas created by users and an SDK that allows its users to perform validations with our schemas. I was also involved in the initial design and implementation of features allowing users to create and manage schemas in their applications through a web application.
