DevOps - Senior Software Engineer

I developed the Backend application that manages the fitness content and user state of the 8fit mobile apps. I mainly worked on:
* the integration with the subscription and payment systems of Stripe, Google and Apple Store
* the design and implementation of the database structure and API endpoints for serving the fitness content and handling user data
* the implementation of a web interface used internally as a CMS for the fitness content.
I was also responsible for monitoring and improving the performance of the Backend and for the security. I also designed and implemented a recommendation system to suggest specific fitness content to users based on their past behavior. It was built using the AWS services Amazon Personalize and AWS Step Functions; the step functions were implemented using the Python language.
