Work Experience
Co-founder, CTO, and Lead Developer
Platform for Freelance Work
- Bootstrapped the entire microservice system alone with CI/CD and Kubernetes clusters for production and staging and front- and back-end projects.
- Integrated the system with Customer.io, HackerRank, Auth0, Gmail API, Google Calendar API, and Calendly and kept downtime to less than one hour.
- Led and managed a team of around ten interviewers that vetted our candidates and built our assessments.
- Built a framework that makes the creation of new microservices in our system a matter of minutes for new developers.
Senior Back-end and Blockchain Developer
Edmund (Invisible Lab Inc.)
- Integrated the system with AWS CloudHSM, storing newly created offline private keys to HSM and signing data without recovering the key over the wire.
- Prepared the CI/CD with GitLab's own CI/CD system, including automated tests (unit and integration), automated microservice Docker image builds, and automated test environment deployment.
- Integrated Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) cryptocurrencies with the platform.
- Created a self-auditing system that had all communication between services through a message queue. All messages were signed with a private key issued explicitly for each microservice in the system.
Lead Back-end Developer
FirstBlood Technologies
- Took over a project when two developers left. It included seven microservices working together, but the codebase was littered with bugs and memory leaks. The project was shipped in time and is still in use in production without issues.
- Led a team of three developers and finished all the projects within the estimations.
- Standardized individual microservice architecture to help with the onboarding of new developers since each developer had their way of creating a new service before this.
Senior Software Developer
Adacta International
- Acted as a code owner and managed a team of three working on the reinsurance module completed a month before the deadline.
- Mentored newly hired juniors and students, including initial onboarding, helping with their tasks, and explaining parts of the system.
- Created a proof-of-concept application that was used in production. It was a no-code tool for insurance companies to develop their products with automated UI generation and PDF reports.
- Covered one existing insurance software project with unit and integration tests that saved a lot of time and money and resulted in fewer bug reports.
