Experience
Marketplace for Auto Enthusiast
Worked on creating a marketplace platform with millions of users. The main technologies used in the project include Node.js, Terraform, AWS, TypeScript, Next.js, React, DevOps, GraphQL, and Playwright for end-to-end tests, and everything is running in Serverless.
This project had several repositories in microservices architecture, with 100% unit test code coverage and 100% feature coverage on end-to-end tests.
As a team lead, I facilitated one-on-one meetings with my teammates to help
them grow in their careers. I also worked with the other leaders to share the teams' concerns so we could address them and always keep the team motivated and fully functional. I've contributed to building other teams helping with onboarding and mentoring for the first three months.
