Latest Project

Products-API Microservice

The goal of this project was to work with an inherited legacy front-end e-commerce web portal, and build out a specific API micro-service to be used by the front-end client. The micro-service was to be a RESTful API that would need to handle web-scale traffic and was containerized using Docker and deployed to an Amazon EC2 instance. After employing optimization strategies such as SQL query optimizations, indexing, caching, and load balancing, I was able to crush the minimum requirements of 100 requests/second and sucessfully scale my service to handle 200-750 requests/second at less than 2000ms of latency and a less than 1% error rate.

Personal Portfolio

This portfolio site!

I began this portfolio around the holidays in 2022, to finally have my own website where I could share my projects with everyone. I wanted to both have fun with a project and challenge myself in building this site. I built it using React and vanilla CSS Flexbox + Grid. In order to have a consistent deployment process I used Netlify and utilized a Git feature branch workflow based on team practices I picked up during my time at Twilio.

Technologies Used:

• React
• Flexbox + Grid
• Netlify
• Webpack

Twilio Hatch Apprenticeship

Hatch Evaluations

As part of a team of 4 engineers, we were tasked with building a tool with which to manage all of the apprentices' evaluations progress. While I was a key contributor throughout the project, my main responsiblility was the 'User Maintenance' component, which allowed the user (admin only) to either elevate or demote certain user roles-- from manager to interviewer or vice-versa. Additionally, the user could manage the relationships between a manager and an apprentice, assign an apprentice to a manager, or an interviewer to an apprentice.

Technologies Used:

• React
• TypeScript
• Twilio Paste
• Node
• Webpack

Bootcamp Project

Pulsar Shop

For my capstone bootcamp project, I worked as part of a team of 3 engineers to modernize a retail web-portal within a 2-week deadline. I was in charge of the 'Ratings and Review' component where I was able to implement React with Redux to manage state effectively, centralize API calls, and manage information flow with multiple components. I also engineered a data sorting and filtering interface that allowed users to customize the way reviews were rendered and developed graphical representation for product characteristics and ratings breakdown.

Technologies Used:

• React
• Redux
• Bootstrap
• Node
• Express
• Webpack
