Software Engineer
Stack BuildersSoftware Engineer
Jun. 2018 - Dec. 2019At Stack Builders, I was a consultant on various client projects working with globally distributed teams. I played my part in helping our clients succeed in a fast-paced market. I got to see how software is built at companies of different sizes and was exposed to a community of developers, PMs, entrepreneurs and everything in between on both internal and client teams.
DevOps Engineer
Nucleos, IncDevOps Engineer
Jan. 2018 - Oct. 2018The Nucleos platform delivers web-apps to disconnected local networks. These apps can be run on the platform with one-click, controlled from a web UI. This is for education in schools that cannot afford internet connectivity, as well as clinics that are under-connected. As a contractor, my role is to port a variety of 3rd-party apps to the app platform. The platform builds heavily on Docker, so porting essentially entails: - containerizing an app (Full-stack backend for either a web or mobile app) - modifying the app so it does not require online endpoints - Setting the app to use pre-loaded containers for services such as databases
