About Me

I am a full-stack developer, trying to stay ahead of the newest trends in building engaging and consistent frontends, as well as developing maintainable APIs that adhere to open standards.
Also trying to stay proficient in deploying these solutions across various environments; from Kubernetes clusters and serverless cloud functions to bare-metal VMs and on-premises servers.

I'm dedicated to learning and building systems that are reliable and practical but also scalable where needed. I am particularly interested in working on projects or with companies that support open-source software or work in the public sector. I'm convinced of the importance of making quality software accessible to everyone.

Experience

Software Developer @ Facultés IC, EPFL

June 2023 - Jul 2023Lausanne, Switzerland
  • Part of team that set-up an automatic grading system for programming assignments. Through a Moodle plugin and Kubernetes cluster the system allowed for easy scalability and fault-tolerance during peak times of the semester.
  • Created a controller (using Spring and Java) that runs each submission as a Job on the Kubernetes cluster. The controller sets up the env for the grading task, and returns the outcomes to Moodle.
  • Set-up CI/CD pipeline using GitLab CI that automatically deploys the controller and Moodle in a staging environment, for quick integration testing and feedback.
