Continued areas of research
Full-Stack Developer
Optizmo Technologies, LLC
Completing tasks across the Full Stack including Typescript React development on the Frontend, a Typescript Node.js backend, Terraform infrastructure as code, and PostgreSQL databases where I also gained experience in CI/CD pipelines and Test-Driven Development and Behaviour-Driven Development. This job took place in an Agile environment with daily standups, weekly task grooming sessions and fulfilling a number of rotating roles each sprint. This included many positions including Sprint Boss (Scrum Master), Tech Support (replying to client queries and concerns and raising bugs appropriately), Alarms Monitoring (monitoring our deployed services) and Sprint Review (managing a bi-weekly sprint review to assess progress).
Full-Stack Developer
Foundation Society
For my final year Capstone Project, myself and a 3 like-minded developers set out to create a Competition Portal for the Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC), a competition for secondary school students with a passion for space. The portal that we developed allowed students to sign up to the competition, for teachers to manager their teams, and for the competition staff to manage student and team data, including generating reports for accomodation, team submissions, and contact information. We also developed a submissions portal using AWS S3 where competition staff could create a new deliverable, to which individual students or teams could make submissions such as sign-up forms, and their final reports for the competition. The technologies I was exposed to in this project included a React Frontend, MariaDB database and AWS SAM Serverless API written in Python, where we used AWS Lambda to create a scalable serverless infrastructure that was low cost for the ASDC.
