Experience

Custom eCommerce Framework

I have been spearheading a custom eCommerce framework of 100+ in-house-built extensions on top of Magento. The framework was started on Magento 1 and was successfully transitioned to Magento 2, where the core development currently lies today. 40+ client projects are built on this enhanced framework. I oversaw all software design decisions and drove the framework forward by leading a development team comprising a dozen back-end and front-end developers distributed across continents and time zones. Additionally, I was directly involved in the back-end development of some of the most advanced modules of this framework.

Pass Generating Server

I built a server from scratch that exposes APIs for generating Apple Passes (loyalty cards, vouchers, membership cards, and airline boarding passes) on-demand with real-time pushed updates to devices.
