Design and implementation of various components across the full stack of daisee's core product, developer tooling and CI infrastructure. Additional responsibilities include high-level strategic planning, code and architecture review, and mentorship of junior developers. Some components I have designed and built:
• Squizzy, an abstraction layer over S3 and SQS to validate and pass Avro-encoded messages. Squizzy is one of the building blocks of our event-driven "V2" architecture.
• The V2 multitenant auth layer, including a standard library of OAuth2/OIDC primitives and serverless Lambda@Edge authorizers to integrate with Auth0.
• persistence.everything, a database testing and migration framework that enforces idempotent and reversible database operations, performs integration tests against production schemas, and manages mock databases for local development.
• Internal and client-facing documentation portals, including a CI pipeline to deploy CloudFront sites from markdown files.
• The "Insights" feature, a set of data pipelines and frontend components in React allowing non-technical analysts to rapidly iterate and deploy embedded dashboards to our core product.
Technologies include:
• Languages: Haskell, TypeScript, Python, Terraform, Bash/shell scripting
• AWS Services: Lambda, EC2, ECS Fargate, S3, RDS, SQS/SNS/EventBridge, Glue/Athena
• Tools/Frameworks: Docker, React, Auth0, Honeycomb, Node.js, Parquet/Iceberg
