- Worked closely with the QA Engineers in the team to ensure the application was fully tested and met the acceptance criteria.
- Maintained documentation for the application so that after the completion of the project, the team could easily understand the codebase and architecture.
BP - (Oil & Gas)
Completed at Capgemini
Node.js serverless API in Azure functions, React SPA This project involved building a new serverless API that needed to act as the proxy for many different data sources. This was done via a Node.js Azure Function that got the data from Azure Blob storage and then transformed it into a format that could be consumed by the Frontend.
- Single-handedly engineered the API that was to be used by many client applications.
- Worked closely with the Frontend team to ensure the API was delivering the data in the correct format.
- Formulated a plan for the client to ensure that the data in blob storage was being updated regularly. (the data only needed to be updated once a month and any updates were critical for the Frontend applications).
Defra - (Public Sector)
Completed at Capgemini
Node.js API, MongoDB, React SPA, Hapi, Mongoose This project aimed to create new Dashboards for the client that were critical in delivering the post-brexit legislation changes related to the Fishing industry in the UK.
- Accelerated the development of a new React.js SPA that used Gov.uk Design system components by capitalising on previous react.js experience.
- Worked as a Fullstack developer to ensure the API was fit for purpose and the Frontend was consuming the data correctly.
- Maximised team's productivity by being able to work on all parts of the application.
Home Office - (Public Sector)
Completed at Capgemini
React, Redux, Java Spring, Jest, Cypress, Junit, PostGreSQL This project aimed to modernise the IT applications used by Home Office.
- Streamlined the development process of the Frontend applications by introducing Single-spa, a framework for bringing together multiple JavaScript microfrontends in a frontend application.
- Once the Frontend was modernised and the team was able to work with the new framework, I switched to working as a Fullstack developer to help with the Java Spring codebase that needed to be modernised.
