2021 — 2024
• Joined the Ordering team and focused on building reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient platforms, successfully transitioning from PHP development stacks to Python environments with gRPC and RESTful APIs over AWS Lambdas, AWS Fargate, and building pipelines and infrastructure with Terraform and CircleCI that was later migrated to CDK with CodePipelines and CloudFormation. The main goal was to transition and break down the Core monolithic legacy system into microservices in a distributed system that resulted in the creation of 8 new microservices under the team’s domain.
• Worked on enabling the gRPC communication with the Legacy system by implementing the first gRPC server that allowed the connection with the new microservices.
• Developed Python, Kotlin, and TypeScript clients to facilitate the gRPC integration between the legacy systems and the new microservices.
• Participated in on-calls, operational excellence, and deployment automation by provisioning pipelines.
• Integrated monitoring, alerts, notifications, paging, and the building of dashboards with AWS CloudWatch, Sentry, and Datadog.
