I've worked on applications in both monolothic and microservice architectures running on GCP in Kubernetes. I've written entire services from scratch and added new features to existing services. I have also created command line tools to help developers in their day-to-day work.

I've developed applications from scratch, including setting up CI/CD pipelines and testing infrastructure. I've also taken proof-of-concept applications to a point where they could be deployed in production.

From 2013 to 2017 I was part of a small team developing a point of sale platform for cash-based microtransactions in informal markets. This involved a custom point of sale terminal which we manufactured and developed firmware for, as well as a cloud-based backend to manage devices in the field, stock distribution, reporting, and providing clients with a rich set of APIs and a frontend to help clients manage their business easily. The team used Kanban, Continuous Delivery, and TDD on all parts. In my time there I worked on almost every part of the technical stack, from the web front- and backend, to the firmware for the custom hardware. I built tools for use within the company, and helped with IT support where needed. I also built tools for use in the factory, and systems to help improve logistics. I rejoined Nomanini in 2019 on a contract basis and am currently working fully remotely for them. I’ve worked on projects, including integrations, tooling, and internal reporting.

I completed an integration service that allowed any other service to send an SMS to a customer. The integration service would queue messages, and could optionally assign a priority level to them. The messages would then be sent and delivery status would be tracked and updated accordingly.
