Since joining Meta (formerly Facebook) in 2020, I’ve been a member of a core infrastructure team within Reality Labs with the goal of enabling E2E test automation. Within this scope, my focus has been building internal tooling to visualise and diagnose problems in automation pipelines (key technologies: PHP/Hack, JS, React+Relay, GraphQL, python). In this role I’ve had the opportunity to wear many hats, from DB architect, building backend services and APIs, to web and UX designer.

Eureka provides technical support and customisation for the business management solution Sage 200. As a member of the customisations team, I have developed new features and interfaces for customers, implemented a DRM solution, and contributed improvements to our add-on development workflow.Working at Eureka has given me the opportunity to learn many new skills and technologies, not limited to VB.NET, ASP.NET, Entity Framework, and Microsoft SQL Server. My biggest take-away has been the practical experience of developing solutions for real-world customers (including UX considerations, testing, and deployment).
