## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Vestwell
Jan 2022 – Present | New York, United States

### Software Engineer @ kafkaVision (Open Source)
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York City
-Configured  React components to query data from Prometheus at specific time intervals while monitoring changes in state to dynamically update and render UI modularized and reusable components.
-Managed state across all functional components through the use of Context API efficiently by decoupling and utilizing whichever  parts of state were essential for that specific component.
-Employed React Router to enforce optimizations of single page applications and decrease the number of calls to the server.
-Implemented Tailwind’s utility-first CSS model to maximize performance in reducing file bundle size while simultaneously being more intuitive with classes and properties added inline to React components.
-Composed interactive and responsive ChartJS graphs that optimally displayed health and topic metric data queried from Prometheus.  Tooltip Configuration allowed for easy implementation and customization of the graphs that resulted in an attractive and easily digestible display of data to maximize the user’s experience.
-Utilized PromQL to obtain scraped health metrics from a cluster’s exposed endpoint, which were seamlessly rendered onto graph components for accurate representation and monitoring of metrics for a cluster, providing the user with up to date information.
-Incorporated React Testing Library to utilize unit tests in order to provide a consistent, maintainable codebase with accurate functionality.
-Open source product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs (opensourcelabs.io).

### Linked | Social Events Coordinator @ Open Source
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York City
-Utilized Express's modularized middleware functions to handle various HTTP/API requests to different endpoints.  Leveraged Express’s structural design pattern that optimizes effective error handling throughout asynchronous code.
-Implemented a relational database management system to allow the user to access events of interest while achieving ACID compliance through strict schemas to ensure consistent completion throughout concurrent transactions.
-Employed React Hooks to locally manage state of various functional components that handled user interaction of inputting valid zip codes which then dictated the rendered map’s center. Functionality also included allowing users to  filter through events based on category icons rendered on the screen.

### KALA2.0 | Team Workflow Management Tool @ Open Source
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York City
-Iterated on KALA by adding user authentication to store user information in a SQL database.  Configured the use of cookies to store in session storage and permit the persistence of user credentials through multiple sessions.
-Employed React Hooks for flexible, local state management while using React Router to minimize server calls allowing for conditional rendering and fine-grained navigation control, which resulted in improved overall application speed.

### All Thumbs | Inclusive Plant Ecommerce @ Open Source
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | New York City
-Architected an SQL database schema to store and manage inventory while guaranteeing ACID compliance for data integrity as well as consistency for each transaction.  Utilized custom queries to filter, modify, subquery, and manage tables with data typing constraints, adhering to strict schema templates.
-Engineered RESTful API architecture with Node.js/Express to implement effective routing through the use of middleware design patterns to ensure efficient communication between frontend requests and the relational database.
-Utilized TailwindCSS to design user interface and leveraged the responsive, fine tuned control over CSS styling.

### Web Developer @ Belle Bakery NY
Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | New York City
-Deployed application hosted on Debian Linux servers through a level-1 PCI DSS compliant content management system with an SSL certificate to ensure security of customer data, payment info, and transactional data stored on MySQL databases.
-Utilized HTML/CSS for a responsive user interface on a mobile app with comprehensive navigation as well as provided components to optimize SEO alongside the use of Google XML Sitemaps for search engine indexing.
