I was a member of the Kaggle Community team for 6 years, where I designed & implemented user-facing features including content discovery, user interaction, account management, and counter abuse. During my time at Kaggle, I saw growth in userbase from ~2 million to ~16 million.
Kaggle is a 2017 acquisition which uses tooling such as GitHub, GKE and other standard GCP products, C# / dotnet, and React. I became deeply familiar with all of these tools and many more, contributing to our developer workflow, backend infrastructure, web monolith code, microservice code, and our frontend.
Developed a serverless web application written in React and backed by Amazon Lambda functions written in Node.
Adapted a proof-of-concept Chrome extension into a production application. Developed core JavaScript code, designed the architecture, and led a team of three throughout development.
Spearheaded the evolution of this proof-of-concept; worked to expand it into a full-fledged product. Created a Node-backed RESTful API which is architected in Azure.
