💼 Experience

Developed an open-source framework for accelerating CI/CD builds in GitHub Actions workflows by automating the deployment of an alternative runner infrastructure with a dedicated cache solution into users' AWS environment (Technologies: Node.js, TypeScript, AWS SDK for JavaScript, Bash, YAML)

• Designed VM architecture to provision ephemeral runner servers into an isolated virtual private cloud, providing users with a clean runtime environment while ensuring data security.
• Created optimized caching solution targeting node modules to minimize redundant dependency installations across consecutive workflow executions achieving up to 90% reduction in installation time.
• Implemented minimal footprint and robust security posture for Harrier, using an isolated VPC, OIDC, AWS Secrets Manager, and strict IAM policies.
• Streamlined setup experience by providing a single YAML file that stands up the Harrier infrastructure within users' AWS environment with minimal effort.
• OTHER BULLET Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Eius vero maxime dignissimos, expedita quo aperiam impedit non accusantium aut porro eveniet reiciendis repellat ab rem.
• Authored comprehensive technical case study providing in-depth analysis of Harrier's problem domain, system design, and engineering challenges.
• Collaborated with remote team spanning three time zones, following Agile methodologies and adhering to Git best practices.
• Led the design, development, implementation, and deployment efforts for the Harrier website.
• Created comprehensive system architecture diagrams and visual aids to facilitate team design discussions throughout project ideation and implementation phases.

• Request Bin: Built a tool for inspecting webhooks and HTTP requests enabling users to inspect incoming HTTP requests. Managed the backend using Node.js and Express.js for API handling, MongoDB and PostgreSQL for data storage, and deployed on a Digital Ocean Droplet VPS with Nginx as a reverse proxy. Integrated a user-friendly dashboard to provide real-time request inspection for seamless debugging
• Engagements: Web application for managing and tracking professional engagements (Technologies: Express, Postgres, React, TypeScript) wook pair project, SSE, GC, Gmail, Google Drive, Dashboard
• NoteThing: 189 Ruby Project
• VoiceNotes: That random toy project with voice to text.
