• I worked closely with the Director/Head of Technology for code reviews, daily stand-ups and with the UI/UX designer to make paper prototypes followed by rapid prototyping for each feature and user interface.

• I built the backend from scratch using AWS Amplify, including the CI/CD pipeline and a central authentication system for all platforms that tied to storage system, with unique access rights for each type of user.

• I optimized the frontend to render hundreds of 15-20MB size images on UI within 3-5 seconds. I optimized the file size from 100% to 4-5% its original size without compromising image quality. I achieved this by deploying a Serverless Image Handler on AWS that provided cost effective image manipulation using “sharp” - an open-source image processing tool I was able to reduce image size without compromising quality for all screen sizes. This improved performance from 25 seconds loading time down to approximately 3 to 5 seconds, and reduced the number of files required on storage by 400%.

• I also built an ETL pipeline with python to gather and sort data from websites, pdfs & csv files which helped the company acquire several new customers.
