Profile: https://flows.cv/samuels

I am currently an Application Engineer at Youreka, a tech organization that builds forms within Salesforce for enterprises. I develop features to support refactor efforts and implement new functionality. I am the DevOps lead for my group and ensure that my team generates release builds on consistent schedule.

My background in building web and mobile applications (Android, iOS) gives me a holistic perspective on development. I have designed applications for enterprise and everyday users. I take initiative and have taken on additional projects in my current role to highlight my leadership capabilities and increase my technical expertise.

Some notable highlights from my work experience include:

· Developed features for Salesforce field service application (iOS, Android) to support refactor efforts and implement new functionality (form products), increasing application performance feature stability app over legacy code

· Created new DevOps pipeline (Node.js, CircleCI, Firebase, Ruby, Fastlane) to automate deployment of application to distribution centers (App Store, Google Play Store), reducing active build-time and saving hours weekly

· Competed in 3 company hackathons with teams of 2-4 software engineers (application photo speed processing, AI universal translation, application backend reconstruction), winning 3 categories for hackathon projects

· Architected and built Protoplay (YouTube alternative for small creators) and developed product roadmap, driving brand new product from zero code to market, growing paying customer base, and generating thousands of visitors monthly

· Refactored frontend to transition from legacy stack (Flask, jQuery) to React stack with Redux state management, improving application performance 3x and code maintainability while enabling product release to Android/iOS

· Created automated testing suite with usage of Cypress to allow for greater client-side application stability and reliability

· Built on top of a Python and Flask backend to add middleware, improving API security/stability and reducing vulnerable API endpoints

I enjoy networking with technology professionals. If you would like to chat, please send me a message.
