Enhanced the companies existing RPGLE, PHP, and jQuery e-commerce website with new features using ReactJS and other modern practices. My primary focus for new features has been web-based corporate-wide management. This includes sales analysis reporting, actionable sales plan management, service log communication, promotions management, store-reset scheduling, and corporate event management. Built serverless microservices using NodeJS on AWS ECR/Fargate and Lambda for distributed report generation tasks. Designed, deployed, and integrated both proactive and reactive system and application monitoring toolsets using Nagios and DataDog. Consolidated incident awareness and notifications using PagerDuty. Migrated several customer-facing brand marketing websites to AWS using EC2, S3, and CloudFront as part of ongoing consolidation efforts. Architected scalable REST API web service for website and mobile applications using AWS API Gateway pointed at both NodeJS Lambda and PHP integrations. Introduced git version control and CI/CD workflow, using GitLab, too many projects in need. Some projects use GitLab only for unit testing and others for the full deployment process. Built a custom AWS VPC to allow for secure communication between cloud-based serverless applications and on-premise LAN. Serverless applications could now access secure databases directly without the extra overhead of other protocols. Show less
