Experience
- Simple Site Status
Designed and developed an application to monitor website downtime and create a daily screenshot archive. Leveraged RSpec, Capybara, factory_bot_rails, and Database_cleaner during TDD to avoid regressions and ensure a stable product. Developed custom jobs with Sidekiq to handle email notifications, generate screenshots and delete archived data. Configured the active storage to upload screenshots to Amazon S3.
- Track and Field Clubs
Programmed a SaaS application allowing users to create a web page for their running club or to promote a road race. Instituted a proximity search permitting users to search for a road race or running club based in their location. Developed a web scraper with Nokogiri to populate the initial data set. Used Minitest and fixtures to test the logic, which verifies whether a user can claim a listing.
