Contractor

Responsibilities:

• Web Applications Development.
• Object Oriented Software Development in Java and Python. Learned Google technology stack, several enterprise applications, including one with over 60,000 lines of code, web based and android in about 2 months.
• Provided enhancements and fixed issues in existing applications in Python.
• Used cloud technologies such as DataStore, AppEngine plus other APIs. Developed new architecture, designed, coded, wrote unit, integration and performance tests, including database storage for a global impact in production application replacing the web based system of ~45k LOC with ~16k LOC in Java for the backend and ~6k LOC for the front end in Dart.
• Inclusive Role Based Authentication and Resource Authorization Security Module that I wrote in ~2k LOC.
• Used Development best practices, including design patterns. The timeline was approximately 6 months.
• The new system provides numerous enhancements, including simplified workflow with very highly performant operation, saving the company about 1/2 million dollars projected for the first year, for vendor expenses plus great time savings for users. For example, in the initial application, content provision necessitated several hours of backend processing, whereas the new system processed the same volume with additional features usually in seconds to a few minutes.
• The application is also a generic framework which can be used to develop other cloud enterprise systems.
