PROJECTS

CLICS — 2022

In this project, my focus was on fortifying our Ruby on Rails application's existing codebase by introducing a robust RSpec test suite. As a Fullstack Developer entrenched in Ruby on Rails, my primary goal was to elevate code quality, identify potential issues, and ensure application reliability through extensive test coverage. As a result, implemented RSpec test suite covering over 70% of legacy code. Buk HR — 2022

As the Lead Developer in the Team, my current project revolves around a comprehensive initiative to tackle technical debt and uplift the overall code quality of our entire development team. In this multifaceted role, I'm conducting a thorough analysis of existing technical debt within our codebase, collaborating with the team to systematically address and resolve issues, thereby enhancing system reliability and maintainability. Simultaneously, I'm driving improvements in coding techniques, introducing best practices, and establishing coding standards to elevate the quality of code produced by the entire development team. The goal is not just to fix immediate issues but to instill a culture of excellence that permeates our codebase. As part of knowledge dissemination, I've taken on the role of conducting workshops and classes on test optimization, addressing flaky tests, and promoting effective design patterns. These interactive sessions aim to provide hands-on guidance to team members, sharing practical strategies to enhance the robustness of our tests and improve overall code quality.

Additionally, I've initiated a mentorship program for junior developers within the Framework Team. This program is designed to provide guidance, support, and constructive feedback, nurturing the growth and proficiency of our junior team members.

The overarching theme of the project is to cultivate a culture of continuous improvement within the team. This involves fostering open communication, encouraging regular code reviews, and creating an environment that promotes the exchange of ideas to drive innovation and learning. This comprehensive initiative reflects my commitment as the Lead Developer not only to refine the technical aspects of our codebase but also to uplift the collective knowledge and proficiency of the Framework Team through mentorship and educational workshops. The project is structured to unfold over a defined timeline, ensuring a phased and strategic approach to addressing technical debt, improving code quality, and empowering team members with essential skills.
