# Takayoshi Sampson

> Senior Software Engineer at Ideon

Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/takayoshi

I am a full-stack developer with experience in building frameworks, cloud-based deployment, and serverless computing. I have years of experience with Ruby and JavaScript, with proficiency in jQuery, HTML, CSS, SQL, Rails, Sinatra, and React, as well as AWS.

I co-created BAM!, an open-source, lightweight serverless framework for deploying small applications built in Node.js and powered by AWS. I automated the process of deploying lambda functions integrated with Amazon API Gateway using lambda proxy integration, implemented optional persistence with Amazon DynamoDB, and built functionality to handle throttling and latency of state-change propagation in the cloud.

### Co-Creator, Software Engineer @ BAM!

- Built user-friendly CLI which abstracts away lengthy and repetitive sequences of asynchronous aws-sdk (AWS Software Development Kit) method invocations, available as an npm package. 
- Implemented functionality for single-command deployment and redeployment of AWS Lambda with integrated API Gateway to Amazon's cloud infrastructure in ~20s.

- Implemented automatic restoration of default IAM Roles for long-term durability of deployed lambdas in the cloud.
- Strengthened robustness of deployment sequences via automated retrying of operations that fail due to either (1) throttling, or (2) latency of state-change propagation through the AWS infrastructure.
