iKhokhaSenior Software Engineer
Oct. 2018 - May. 2020Durban Area, South AfricaAt ikhokha I was part of the core team of designing the microservice architecture. This really pushed me to another level of designing and implementing a completely serverless microservice architecture. Initially we started building in Python and later I decided to go with Typescript as the language of choice for it's type safety and small packaging size which was super important for quick startup times in lambda functions on AWS. This allowed our Lambda functions on AWS to startup much quicker than other languages. I also assisted the data team by building data lakes and integrations into data warehouses like Redshift and Snowflake. I had built a custom ETL data pipeline into snowflake using an open source project called Singer in python.
