PROJECTS
Adding offers/campaigns by product roadmap —
Formation/BCG
Small projects adding Golang based backend solutions to implement new offers/campaigns based on the suggestive AI technology. Navigated by the product roadmap.
Python 2 to 3 migration — Egnyte
The largest project I’ve worked so far. Moving a core of the product to Python3. The goal of the project was a smooth migration from one to the other not even noticeable to the customers. The main challenge was to accommodate changes of the third-party libraries used around the project, UTF-8 string conversion that is the primary difference between the latest python 2.7 and 3.7. As the result of the project’s completion we were able to move to a new python version smoothly and seamlessly to the customers. We’ve got very little regression to be observed. I can conclude the main goal of the project was successfully achieved. AWS cost control management solution — Plume
Enabling a company assess and control its’ AWS costs via monitoring all the resource generation on the AWS cloud. Implemented a multicomponent system to be able to tag each and every new or existent resource on the AWS cloud.
