ClickIPO is the world’s first industry to optimize retail distribution of Initial Public Offerings (IPO) and Follow-on Offerings. The company has a platform for Issuers, Underwriters, and Online Brokerages that leverages the benefits of broad retail distribution and gain access to a large liquidity pipe of buy and hold retail investors, across multiple online brokerages.
I developed the backend server that exposed RESTful APIs which was made of a Python engine with Sanic (a flask based) framework. I designed models on the POSTGRES database for persisting data and session information. Also the role let me manage driving the engine on Amazon EC2 and hosting the database on the Amazon Aurora infrastructure.
I worked on optimizing API performance in the application server and on the database level, on a daily basis and drive towards making the backend system more robust and fast.
I connected closely with the front end and mobile app teams to make APIs compliant to the front end based on user requirements. I was reporting to the Chief Technology Officer of ClickIPO, providing daily statuses and consult on improvements to the platform.
