Architected one of our core backend services through 3 iterations, starting as a serverless cloud-native application and then through two major releases as a monolithic containerized application as needs for the service shifted over time.
Amazon DynamoDB Amazon Lambda AWS GCP Nest.js Node.js Serverless
Re-engineered some of our legacy systems to increase the velocity of our engineering teams by up to 5x.
Amazon EC2 GraphQL Nest.js Node.js REST Typescript
Planned and implemented an overhaul of our CI/CD system for backend services with a focus on improving code stability, test coverage, and eliminating manual steps prone to human error.
Bash GitHub Actions Groovy Jenkins
