1) I developed an internal tool named AdvanceX-Instances for the managing and creating various instances on the AdvanceX project. This project required the following tools: JavaScript, React, Redux and Ruby on Rails 2) I undertook the following research projects: • As the company decided to move away from Open Search Server (OSS) towards Elastic Search (ES) it became necessary to find a web crawler.

This project required the following tools: JavaScript, React, Redux and Ruby on Rails 2) I undertook the following research projects: • As the company decided to move away from Open Search Server (OSS) towards Elastic Search (ES) it became necessary to find a web crawler. I researched into possible candidates and narrowed it down to Apache Nutch and Scrapy (a Python based scraper). After comparing the pros and cons of both tools I decided Scrapy was much better suited for our needs. I was able to set up a scraper using Scrapy to crawl one of or websites as well as pipeline all its results to an Elastic Search Instance running on AWS EC2. • I was asked to look into the load testing capabilities of JMeter and if we could use it to simulate user behaviour. I researched the setup process for JMeter and how to create a test plan using it. For simulating user behaviour I integrated the web-driver (Selenium)-plugin into JMeter. I was also able to find recorders that would record simulated actions and create a corresponding test plan, thus saving us time. • I was asked to look into a tool call Ory Editor, a React-Redux based content editor. Our main objective was to determine whether or not it could be used as a console for an upcoming project. One of the requirements was to be able to export the end result of an editor as simple HTML. I was able to find a way to export the HTML using the react-dom/server package and Ory editor’s own HTML renderer. 3) I worked on the also worked as a developer on the AdvanceX project during which I resolved various issues and implemented new features to the AdvanceX App. This project required the following tools: JavaScript, React, Redux and Ruby on Rails Show less 1) I developed an internal tool named AdvanceX-Instances for the managing and creating various instances on the AdvanceX project.
