My team, Open Banking Expansion UK and Ireland Connectivity was responsible for delivering and supporting open banking integrations with banks across the UK and Ireland including managing client certificates to secure transactions. In addition to supporting the UKI connectivity service, I also led development on several projects including: * Streamlined the client registration process by developing the Client Registration Service, which automated and simplified the registration of TrueLayer clients with banks. This service significantly reduced time and effort to register new clients with banks, replacing a lengthy manual process with a quick and efficient automated one. * Contributed to the migration from logging to tracing in TrueLayer by creating the TrueLayer.Observability library, enabling the integration of OpenTelemetry APIs for .NET applications. This marked the first production-ready tracing implementation within TrueLayer, improving observability and enhancing logging capabilities. The new logging pipeline ingests container logs to Elasticsearch via Fluent Bit. Traces are sent to Honeycomb. * Implemented a load testing service using the Locust load testing library, allowing us to identify and address performance bottlenecks. This initiative resulted in a tenfold reduction in average request response time. * Led the design and implementation of the payment manager rule engine, enabling the dynamic creation of in-flight payment status polling strategies. Additionally, I led the integration of Payment Manager metric collection and visualization, as well as alerting through Prometheus and Grafana, greatly enhancing in-hour and out-of-hour support. * Contributed to the continued maintenance of the teams infrastructure using kubernetes for orchestration of dockerized containers.

Some features I worked on include: • Automated the timing out and removal of delivery totes that are stuck in the warehouse conveyor system; a task which previously required manual intervention. This helped reduce support requirements. • Implemented a feature to reject delivery totes that are recorded to be in multiple storage totes due to misreading of identification tags. • Utilized Jackson and Jersey to automate the resetting of stranded bots through aREST API based admin command, further improving the efficiency of support staff. I have gained working experience in a diverse range of technologies, including: Java 11, Git, Kubernetes, Docker, JUnit, EasyMock, SpotBugs, TDD and BDD. Show less
