Portfolio

Lead Developer - Blackbridge
Lead Developer - Blackbridge

Worked on syncing the company’s ERP system with global market places in both ways. The solution dealt with shipping issues such as tracking and determining issues with undelivered packages. Integrated some 3rd party APIs and built new clients for some services and APIs on the system.

Lead Developer - Legend MRO Delivery Client
Lead Developer - Legend MRO Delivery Client

Built the whole system (including the REST API provided from the backend). After a sale is finished, the system sends an email to the customer with a specialized url and a given products uuid. The system allows users to fill the form with shipping details. It has a dynamic form validation with given answers which creates the validation rules from previous answers. This app is a multi-step form, and when it’s successfully submitted provides all related information on the shipment. This prevents surprises and ensures efficiency.

Lead Developer - ToddPipe Internal Services REST API
Lead Developer - ToddPipe Internal Services REST API

Built the whole system for Todd Pipe. This backend service provides all internal services for the company, such as pricing by tracking all product price changes globally with regards to limits on changes in product prices in relation to competitors prices. Streamlines job management by creating a submittal package which includes all data sheets and all related information such as prices, delivery time, etc. The Backend collects all related information for the submittal packages and checks the pdf files individually and creates a pdf file for the package by combining all valid pdf files and adding a cover page to each individual file and creates an index for all packages. The system handles these heavy operations in async on the server side. The server infrastructure can scale horizontally. When too many tasks are in the queue, the system spins up new worker nodes on Docker swarm provides the service in a reasonable amount of time.
