As the API Enigneering Manager, I oversee the development of scalable and resilient systems, collaborating closely with the product team to identify and address user needs effectively. I have successfully identified and rectified loopholes, ensuring alignment with user requirements. I enhanced the system's logging capabilities, implementing timely alarms, and optimized background processing for API requests, incorporating robust retry mechanisms to handle system failures. Utilizing caching techniques, I significantly improved response times. In addition, I played a key role in creating internal APIs for eBay, scaling the existing codebase to facilitate the transition into microservices. The implementation of the Hermes API and the establishment of an intermediary API between Magento and Mobile Apps enhanced the overall user experience. Recognizing the importance of clear documentation, I introduced an API docs plugin for seamless updates directly from the codebase. Furthermore, I orchestrated the migration of the entire system from outdated infrastructure to a modern, cost-effective AWS setup. This not only improved overall system efficiency but also enabled the background processing of APIs through Laravel queues, ensuring optimal engagement with a large user base.

Collaborated closely with Database Administrators for effective data storage in both NoSQL and MySQL databases. - Developed APIs using Laravel with GraphQL, enhancing system functionality. - Implemented Golang services to replace PHP services, significantly boosting system performance. - Led the migration from a PHP monolithic system to Golang microservices, particularly in the order placement process and various payment gateways, achieving improved efficiency and scalability.

As a Backend Developer, I specialized in crafting comprehensive solutions for digital commerce. My role encompassed: - Creation of robust backend solutions tailored for a social networking website. - Collaboration with mobile developers and utilization of multiple databases to ensure the seamless completion of projects. - Proficient use of Laravel, with hands-on experience in API development and the integration of MailChimp. Additionally, adept at working with S3 in Laravel, and closely coordinating with Database Administrators for efficient data storage in both NoSQL databases and MySQL. - Expertise in developing APIs using Laravel with GraphQL, enhancing the overall functionality and connectivity of systems.
