Career Summary and my thoughts
| Time Frame | Summary | Skills Obtained/ Design Patterns Used | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018-Present | Left Fundrecs. For first time I heard Orchestration in micro services. I know micro services and have successfully implemented that kind of architecture, but Orchestration and Coreography was Alien to me. Received Camunda training and learnt how to model business process and that business process and business logic are seperate aspects. Spent great time with Jan doing pair programming and Strictly TDD. First time I was working in Agile/Scrum enviroment, not totally convinced with Manager's scrum, and the developer's scrum in practice, where i am working, totally opposite to Agile Manifesto. Most probably the bowing down to Atlassian JIRA has limited many people's imagination and convinced them it is the only and right way. I thought out that software delivery has everything to do with right approach to solve problems and not by micro management as mentioned in this anti pattern Death by Planning Right now I am investigating Java Connector Architecture to refactor the code from Ear to Rar structure. | Orchestration,TDD,Pair Programming, Death By Planning(Anti pattern) | N/A |
| 2017- Second Half | Working on my own from India after marriage on OCR Engine. Banging my head with severe pain in trying to figure out how to build a solution to read images in the code. After long struggle learnt techniques in Computer vision to play with drawings and felt like i can buid paint in the code. While i havent build paint, but i certainly did learn how to play with images in a program to extract proper text and pass them to tesseract OCR parser. | Open CV, Teseract. | N/A |
| 2017- First half | Build the UI for Parser Engine. Lots of investigation on React,Angular and Backbone. Worked on initial UI prototyping of the pages and functionality. Used Bootstrap to give look and feel. Didn't liked it. Used Material-UI for look and feel. Set up Js project from Scratch with webpack, babeljs pipeline. Loved the transition effects and super sexy UI. Lots of disagreement with Jason :) Wanted to buy amazon Share for around 800 Dollars, didnt had the courage. | Using mediator pattern to delegate the request from react to Backend rest services. Using reactjs in simple form and embraced it. Skill to build a professional UI from scratch. Great confidence. | N/A | 2016-Second Half | Fundrecs architecture is evolving with addition of Apache Camel to poll files from SFTP. Extended the apache camel sftp to multi channel SFTP polling mechanism. To maintain growing infrastructure, worked on Amazon Cloudformation to automate the deployments. Worked on Mongodb installation in AWS by cloudformation. Loved AWS too much. Amazed by AWS addition of product lines. | Automation of Infrastructure on AWS. Customizing the instances according to needs for the deployments in Cloudformation. JMS integration of micro service with Activemq. | N/A |
| 2016-First Half | Maintenence of Parser engine. Started working on Recs Engine. Designed Algorithm capable of reconcilliatin of a million data set on either side in couple of seconds. I started to enjoy writing test and wrote the unit test for the algorithm with 100% coverage. Embraced writing the unit test and statred to play with TDD. | N/A | |

Worked out the communication in Hybrid Architecture to keep Direct HTTP only and done a POC to prove that it can be done. Solved bug in Spring framework to support multi tenancy and kept the design as stateless for performance. First Hands on Experience in using AWS for deployments. Wrote a java codebase to create deployment infrastructure on AWS. Writing code in Java looks ugly now, Groovy is class.
