• Senior Software Development Engineer

  • Feb 2023 - Present

  As a Senior Software Development Engineer at Workato, I successfully extended and restructured a large monolithic package, resulting in a more robust architecture that greatly improved follow-up data analysis and simplified code maintenance. Additionally, I have been leading an ongoing Rails upgrade project, where I established a green CI with an impressive number of tens of thousands of tests within two weeks. Through diligent documentation of significant unknown issues and transparent communication, I ensured a seamless migration process for the entire company. To mitigate potential risks, I devised a detailed migration plan that included a canary release with dual booting, enabling us to identify and address issues promptly. Beyond my technical contributions, I actively participate in team and company discussions, offering valuable suggestions for improving business-as-usual processes and code-related practices. I thrive in collaborative environments and excel at gathering insights from diverse teams to drive effective decision-making. Show less

• Back End Developer

  • Apr 2018 - Jan 2020

  I have joined Toptal's Talent Experience team to ensure that talents have the best experience in finding their jobs with Toptal.The core project is a giant monolith written in Ruby. One of my first assignments was to optimize existing MVC features. In the meantime, our team was working on extracting UI to a separate React-based project. GraphQL was chosen as an API protocol to communicate. So I was highly involved in developing a new API with modern standards ensuring its efficiency, security, and reliability. After gathering domain knowledge, I started participating in initiatives beyond my team. One of the company-level initiatives was to reduce CI costs by improving the performance of our test suite. The monolith had about 10,000 unit tests taking about 8 hours on CI. The engineering department had around 100 backend developers. Nevertheless, I am proud to say that my contribution reduced about 2 hours of total CI time, saving hundreds of dollars monthly and providing a better experience to the engineering department. With simple changes nobody else saw, I have optimized a couple of tests to be 100 times faster, from 10 minutes to 6 seconds. During that time, I implemented my first OpenSource project under Toptal: database_validations. Show less

  Lumar (formerly known as Deepcrawl) illuminates your website's full commercial potential with a centralized command center for maintaining your site's technical health. I was the only remote contractor at the time, but it didn't stop me from high performing. One of my many responsibilities was to build an automated API documentation tool. After conducting my research, I have suggested extending the existing OpenSource tool called rspec_api_documentation with OpenAPI support. The stakeholders accepted my proposal, and after months of highly productive work, it was finished and successfully injected into the company's technical stack. Pull Request to OpenSource project was also merged so everybody in the community could benefit from this functionality. Besides that, I helped the team with optimizations and implementing new features. Show less
