Overview

As a committed member of the software engineering team at ABC company, I played an instrumental role in planning, developing, and deploying projects for the company's eCommerce platform. This role allowed me to blend my technical skills and understanding of business needs, resulting in meaningful front-end customizations, robust back-end services, and timely bug fixes.


Collaboration and Support

An essential part of my role involved close collaboration with marketing teams. Together, we facilitated the successful launch of new products and promotional campaigns, demonstrating my ability to work cross-functionally and under tight deadlines.

Additionally, I was deeply involved in ongoing site maintenance tasks. This included:

  • Enhancing accessibility features to ensure universal usability
  • Mitigating technical debt to keep our codebase clean and maintainable
  • Refining deployment strategies to ensure smooth and efficient updates

Technical Contributions

One of my notable contributions was developing the Shopify storefront and its back-end infrastructure. I utilized a variety of technologies for this task, including:

  • Liquid for dynamic content rendering on Shopify
  • HTML/SCSS for structuring and styling the storefront
  • Javascript, jQuery, React, and NodeJS for interactive elements and server-side functionalities

Lead in DevOps

In my role, I also had the opportunity to lead several DevOps initiatives. I streamlined the continuous deployment strategy and standardized the procedure, tooling, and testing protocols. This contributed significantly to making our development process more efficient and reliable.


Workflow Automation

One of my significant achievements was automating the development workflows. By doing so, I was able to reduce the engineering overhead and turnaround time dramatically. This automation not only increased our efficiency but also allowed us to deliver high-quality features to our customers faster.
