Full Stack Developer (Remote)
Was part of an agile team from this IT Consultancy, designed and implemented a cross-platform codebase to be shipped to Android and
iOS, an admin dashboard for data entry and the backend for one of their projects - a local sports app.
Built a scalable backend consisting of a serverless RESTful API leveraging Cloud functions to manage endpoints for app data like news,
fixtures, search queries; a firestore database for the app and the dashboard; and a Cloud storage bucket with global redundancy for
high availability and secure upload of user generated content like images and video.
Developed the algorithm for streaming livescores and match details like possesion from different sources while ensuring efficient app
performance and state management. This helped minimise costs of human involvement in providing the livescores by 50%.
Incorporated purchase and payments features in the app, orders management and forms on the dashboard, the chat, follow, like,
comment and share. This enabled the business to help market and sell local team merchandise.

Selected Projects
Phonebook CLI:
The task was to develop a phonebook CLI while practicing SOLID and code design practices like Interfaces.
Developed a database singleton with interface CRUD methods
Achieved better code quality with easier testing, faster development, flexibility to change, and failures in one dependency would not
prevent system function thanks to dependency injection, interfaces, singleton pattern, and class factory pattern
Applied these concepts to make a more robust phonebook CLI with features such as edit contact, list contacts, etcetera.
Main tools and Skills: Python, Test Driven Development, Code Design Practices, Automation, CLIs, Git, CI/CD
