Software Engineer

Google
02.2021 - Current
  • Design and implement solution to allow on call engineers to isolate customer traffic using Dynamic Routing
  • Design improvements to reduce operating cost by reducing nodes procured but not purchased in regions
  • Design, implement and kick off rollout of high risk performance improving infrastructure update reducing p50 performance
  • Investigate and resolve critical customer issues requiring engineering focus.
  • Investigate and resolve product tickets
  • Design and implement POC for a c-core client library with multiple language bindings

Senior Software Engineer

Deloitte
10.2018 - 02.2021
  • Move set of microservices that compose PC Optimum Middleware to GCP, from a docker container in a datacenter to an Istio enabled Kubernetes cluster
  • Redesign caching and backing of data to reduce downtime impact by utilizing Memorystore and Firestore instead of Infinispan on prem
  • Support production traffic
  • Design, implement, test and deploy new restful APIs enabled on multiple PC Optimum clients written in Java on Spring Boot and exposed via Apigee Proxies
  • Features used in production with all PC Optimum clients

Senior Software Engineer

RBC
11.2017 - 01.2018
  • Microservices to expose new public restful APIs for Royal Bank communicating with legacy systems
  • These APIs will be the first of their kind allowing external users direct access to RBC features
  • This project is written in Java 8 on Spring boot
  • Apigee is used as the gateway
  • Developed a set of Microservices that created a reactive system based on Kafka
  • Each microservice could be communicated through a Kafka topic or Rest
  • We had orchestrative microservices that fulfilled a business scenario such as create an account in RBC
  • I worked with architects on the design and implementation of the services - all written in Java with Spring boot
  • The restful API is now being worked on to expose externally

Senior Software Engineer

Deloitte
05.2016 - 11.2017
  • PC Optimum middleware project that required designing a new Restful API and Microservices to back the API
  • This project is written in Java 8 on Spring boot and deployed in Docker backed by a Redis cache
  • Lead the design and implementation of the core functionality and implement new features on this project
  • Lead the design of the API to be consumed by both web and mobile
  • I also set up core code patterns such as using the Try library imported from Scala for exception management, the microservice structure which includes packaging and class responsibilities
  • I also implemented and enforced unit testing and development cycle and helped design the Restful API
  • I also continue to support project through its performance and minor release
  • Worked closely with product managers to develop new features for Loblaw Click and Collect mobile
  • I took this project on under very tight deadlines from a party that left hastily
  • I learned the core technology (Hybris) while ramping up developers on our new team and ensure client comfort with realistic timeline

Senior Software Engineer

TD Bank
01.2016 - 12.2016
  • I led the design and setup of a CI/CD pipeline for the team in Jenkins
  • I also set up a lot of configuration for deploying services into a private Openstack cloud environment

Senior Software Engineer

Cisco Systems
01.2012 - 12.2016
  • A cloud orchestration project to allow large enterprise software to be deployed on an OpenStack cloud written in Java
  • I worked in a team of 6 people to develop the platform that would orchestrate the deployment
  • Along with that we created a CI/CD pipeline to deploy and test our software written as a mix of heat templates along with python and shell scripts
  • Lastly I worked on our testing framework for which we used Cucumber
  • We used agile practices and utilized the devOps methodology which is apparent from the skills I have learned so far in the project
  • Designed, Implemented and Tested a library to generate validate and modify yaml formatted heat templates in Java
  • Designed, Implemented and Tested a Utility command line script that was generated by the platform for each service at run time and would execute once a VM was booted on OpenStack
  • Designed, Implemented and Tested APIs to interact with application which required schema updates and modifications
  • Worked on project to implement microservices that that would act as a user gateway using Spring Cloud with consul discovery
  • I was responsible for researching Heat - the OpenStack orchestration engine that we used to deploy stacks
  • Specifically I looked at the creation of heat templates, features missing in OpenStack (at the time Havana) which were fixed on the IceHouse release
  • Porting features such as dependant templates and files for stack launch on the heat client to our platform
  • I designed, implemented and tested the gathering and pushing of logs on instances to our logging infrastructure (ELK stack) by using SaltStack templates
  • I was also part of team of 4 to create update a basic CI/CD pipeline that would create infrastructure and execute tests and promote successful deployments
  • Pipeline was triggered by git commits
