RESUME
WORK EXPERIENCE
- First engineer at the money pod team. Built internal tools for foundational features related to company-wide pricing data sharing management, accounting, and item promotions tools in an event-driven microservices architecture. Engaged in full-stack development using React and Ruby on Rails in combination with Postgres, GraphQL, and Kafka.
- Participated in a complex re-architecture project that involved breaking down a large monolith into multiple microservices.
- Implemented a promotion engine using NetSuite and Voucherify API.
- Dynamically adjusted priorities and timetables to meet the company’s fast-paced environment.
- Defined potential strategies and goals for several money-related projects and alternative revenue streams.
- Skills: Ruby on Rails, Node.js, React, Postgres, Apache Kafka, GraphQL
- Developed an all-in-one search platform for research labs using Angular, Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB.
- Developed an admin management system and optimized the user onboarding flow for CAC.
- Led and managed a team of 5 part-time contractors, overseeing the platform’s growth from 0 to 10K users.
- Conducted user interviews, designed wireframe prototypes, and implemented over ten iterations of the MVP.
- Implemented Angular SSR for improved performance and efficient web crawling.
- Implemented authentication and authorization using Auth0.
- Implemented a research labs search engine using the Algolia Elastic Search API, a chat functionality using the PusherIO API and webhooks, a news feed and real-time notifications using the StreamIO API, and payment options using the Stripe API.
- Participated in the 2019 cohort of the Start Accelerator program in Switzerland.
- Skills: Node.js, Express.js, Angular, MongoDB, Heroku, Auth0, Stripe
- My work at the university was a continuation of the projects established at the Technion (below).
