Work history

Alteryx
Technical Lead
2020 - 2022 (2 years)
Remote
  • Maintained an app that is used by 10,000+ customers daily. While providing technical guidelines about how to maintain current features, I advised on how to develop new features relevant to the app's current state.

  • Tracked, fixed, and documented bugs using the Agile approach.

  • Documented existing features using a reverse engineering approach, such as digging deep into the legacy code.

  • Provided DevOps support even though it was not on the job description. Automated existing pipelines for further efficiency.

  • Designed, implemented, and documented software systems while preparing for the deployment process using a Java 8-based custom software development environment.

  • Improved the current custom Java 8 software-development environment with constructive feedback and deployment of the new generic system tools.

  • Created and implemented JUnit test guidelines to increase the coverage of unit tests, further automate the system, and allow new team members to quickly ingest current software development policies.

  • Tutored new team members for software development lifecycle processes and defensive programming paradigms using my open-source documents.

  • Detected software bugs in the predeployment phase to further increase the reliability of the system.

  • Analyzed and provided feedback for the given software systems regarding reliability, accuracy, and completeness.

  • Created a software-system design using Ada 83 for multiple Unix-based platforms using defensive programming techniques where high reliability and safety concerns are met.

  • Designed, developed, deployed, documented, and maintained multiple software systems.

  • Analyzed software items in terms of performance and reliability using MATLAB tools and provided solutions to the detected performance and reliability issues.

  • Improved software system efficiency by decreasing the average number of steps needed to be taken by the user by 40% to achieve the same functionality.

  • Fully automated software systems by minimizing user interactions while allowing the user to modify the automated system's outputs according to their needs.

  • Provided automated solutions for distributed systems where each system is deployed in different working environments like Solaris, Windows, and Red Hat.

  • Assigned tasks and solved system bugs using Bugzilla according to system analyses, issues observed in deployment, and user feedback.
