I am an engineer, currently working on the backend at GitLab
Distributed systems and infrastructure topics interest me and that is what I hope to work on in the future.
I love working in small, autonomous teams, with a focus on good software engineering practices. Having experience working and studying remotely, I can work both independently, or while pairing.
Industry Experience (2013 - present)
Backend Engineer at GitLab | June 2019 - present
Platform Engineer at Travis CI | May 2016 - May 2019
At Travis CI, I build the Travis API and other backend systems in Ruby and Elixir. Most of my work is open source.
Some of my important projects were:
- writing a service in Elixir to merge the commercial and free hosted platforms (ongoing project), tackling data history conflicts, and handling the expected final impact of merging infrastructures,
- improving fair use detection,
- and, building and maintaining several features, e.g. running scheduled builds (crons).
Backend and Infrastructure Engineer at Blacklane | December 2014 - April 2016
Some of my important projects were:
- migrating the legacy stack to AWS where we used Chef and Terraform to maintain the infrastructure,
- dockerizing some services for development,
- setting up monitoring for the systems, with Stackdriver,
- and, improving and breaking the Ruby monolith into smaller services.
Backend Engineer at early stage start-ups | May 2013 - November 2014
For a couple of years I worked at early stage start-ups - HowDo and Smart Checkups, where I learnt to take up several responsibilities in a small team. I wrote the Sinatra API at HowDo and worked on the web front-end at SmartCheckups.
I also worked at a social media marketing analytics consultancy, TD Reply, with clients like Coca Cola and Volkswagen. I worked on the Ruby backend, responded to outages and worked on provisioning infrastructure with Ansible.
Earlier Experience (2012 - 2013)
I started out as an engineering graduate, learning from amazing engineers through internships at 6WunderKinder, SlideShare and also participated in Google Summer of Code.
