  Provided technical training and led workshops on full-stack development principles, including algorithms, DOM Manipulation, React, Redux, HTML, CSS, Node.js/Express, SQL/NoSQL databases, testing and authentication basics. Integrated Cypress end-to-end tests for a React/Redux application to verify user flow along a CI/CD pipeline ensuring overall component functionality and detection of unintended side effects. Used Docker to develop in a containerized environment, upholding Codesmith’s style guide, including formatting and linting, and ensuring smooth integration and continuous deployment workflow. Mentored a team of engineers through the development life cycle of full-stack, open-source applications by managing team dynamics, and fostering engineering best practices and codebase uniformity throughout product life cycles. Performed regular, in-depth code review to monitor fellow engineer’s continued progress and future excellence. Maintained and updated a custom YAML content parser to dynamically compile YAML files into React components, simplifying the development process and integration for technical and non-technical members of the team. Proctored technical interviews focusing on JavaScript knowledge, technical communication, analytical problem-solving skills, and engineering best practices. Show less

  • Deployed Electron’s open-source framework for bundling cross-platform React/Node/Chromium applications to create a sandboxed, high performant and very accessible environment allowing users to convert non-relational database schemas into correctly formatted GraphQL schemas, complete with resolvers and mutations for users to download in zip format. • Utilized React component reusability paradigm to develop an SPA with modularized components that follow React design patterns such as conditional rendering, React hooks, stateless components, and render props. • Applied CodeMirror’s versatile text editor to output formatted GraphQL and non-relational database schemas with which users can interact, visualize and download based on their URI input. • Integrated Jest test-suites for TDD methodology to create unit and integration tests by checking schema validation, constructing planning sessions with the team to define behaviors pre-implementation, enforcing clean and well-structured code integration. • Configured D3 layout algorithms to display non-relational database schemas in an interactive hierarchical tree structure, providing a meaningful and dynamic data-driven representation of user’s database information. • Designed custom modular Express middleware for non-blocking functionality to ensure a scalable, secure, and responsive server,, handling errors and leveraging Express’s lightweight framework. Product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs (opensourcelabs.io). Show less

  • Optimized loading performance by establishing static routes through React Router to minimize server calls within SPA to handle progressive resolution of views by preventing page reload, optimizing performance and experience. • Employed React Hooks for comprehensible state management while maximizing modularity of stateful components by decoupling logic from user interface and leveraging React’s built in component life cycle methods to dynamically manage state and component rerendering.• Deployed PostgreSQL database for a more structured storage of relational data and guaranteed validity of transactions between stores and users in the event of errors through ACID compliance.
