Lead developer of an AWS lambda/RDS hosted, greenfield project SaaS website, which aggregated data from several small OCPP servers (for electric vehicle chargers) and provided realtime and historical reporting, and provided a way to configure car chargers and authorize RFIDs. I was responsible for all of the AWS scripting, automating the deployment, implementing the python backend, designing the database. I worked with another developer on implementing the react frontend, where I did the programming part and initial pass on html and css, and my coleague focused on fine tuning html and css. I implemented all of the SQL, including the creation of the database itself. Was able to heavily optimize it for concurrency and fast performance. I had to learn OCPP (Open Charge-Point Protocol).
