In addition to my previous role responsibilities, I am able to collaborate with other staff engineers on solving tech debt problems, security, observability, and bringing in innovative solutions that include Generative AI to reduce operational costs and boost productivity. Some of it includes fraud detection and prevention using graph databases, data migration to GCP, integration with 3rd party security scanning tool, and using Generative AI models on Vertex AI as a coding assistant as an independent autonomous coding tool. A member of a Security Champion program.

This role includes everything from my previous one but at a much higher level.

In addition to ^ I am also responsible for:

1. In-depth analysis of multiple different parts of the platform and consistent enhancement and monitoring.

2. Active participation in new initiatives and hackathon with building successful solutions for long-lasting problems.

3. Active participation in brainstorming sessions as well as new feature design discussions.

4. Interviewing, training, mentoring.

5. Feature and automation code review.

As my side project and as a result of my analysis I identified the most business-critical area (loan request rejection decisions) and provided the solution using Deep Neural Network with Tensorflow. This solution received a lot of good feedback and showed to be faster, and very efficient compared to the current process while utilizing a significantly smaller dataset and resources. This solution wasn't integrated for several reasons.

During the hackathon, my team was building an income prediction model using a Neural Network with Tensorflow. In 5 days we developed the model that proved its efficiency and showed very good results that were as good as the current model but we used a 50x smaller dataset. This solution wasn't integrated for several reasons.

Some of my skills:

Self-starter, results-oriented, problem solver.

Jira, Confluence, CI-CD, Jenkins, New Relic, Splunk, MySQL, BigQuery, Java, Python, Apache Airflow, GitHub, Cucumber BDD, REST Assured, JDBC, and many more.

My main responsibilities are:

1. Complete end to end project support starting from its early stages (such as requirement gathering or just brainstorming) and finishing with release to production and monitoring for projects of any complexity.

2. Close collaboration with developers on requirements gathering and development process to be involved from the earliest stages of the project.

3. Complete ownership of test planning and feature automation/manual testing activities.

4. Consistent cross team work in vertical (business, product, support, stakeholders) and horizontal (development, UX design, SDET) surface.

5. Consistent learning of new tools/techniques and applying it in practice.

6. Consistent improvement of testing/developing processes.

7. Consistent learning of the platform as a whole and micro-services it is running on.

8. Consistent contribution to automation and ownership of framework modules.

After I understood the platform well enough - I was able to build several solutions to the problems that were very time consuming. This improved execution time from several days to under 1-2 hrs of work, with direct positive impact to team productivity and as the result - to the company.
