  Full-stack and integration development around bulk-volume scheduled mobile marketing campaigns. Contributed to 2 notable shipped features: extending the existing SMS campaign product to allow using first MMS and then WhatsApp message templates, building on top of Sinch's Conversation API (ConvAPI) for the actual message delivery. This was done as part of a small self-organized team (around 5-7 members at any given moment) which included people with design, UX, and product skills. I served as equal contributor as well as eventual lead frontend dev on: - redesigned Web app for managing the creation and scheduling of campaigns (React/Typescript) - Extending the existing backend to coordinate the campaign data it owns with the message template data and sending mechanisms owned by ConvAPI (Python) Contributed to 1 notable shipped product: a custom integration for a big luxury brand in the form of a Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) Custom Activity that enables sending KakaoTalk messages via ConvAPI from within a SFMC Journey. This was done as part of a team that was a mix of Sinch employees and contractors, almost exclusively developers overall. I served as lead frontend dev on: - Web app hosted by Sinch and embedded within SFMC's web app, used by the user to manage how KakoTalk messages are created from their data (React/Typescript) as well as eventual equal contributor on: - Backend hosted on AWS by Sinch, serves as bridge between message data (coming from SFMC) and ConvAPI while managing throughput and queuing (using Redis) to respect the API's rate limit (Fastify/Node/Typescript) My contributions beyond directly designing and writing software included: - enhancing the developer tooling available to and used by the team - on-boarding new team members onto the projects and products - mentoring team members with less developer, domain, and/or client experience - participating in recruiting interviews for new developers for the team Show less
