Work Experience

Appstle Inc.

February 2023 - December 2023

Software Developer

At Appstle Inc., my role was multifaceted, focusing on developing new features for over 30,000 merchants and engaging in full-stack development using Java, TypeScript, and React. I refined our software by refactoring React components and managing a substantial codebase of over 500,000 lines. Additionally, I handled database management tasks with MySQL and DynamoDB, and created specialized internal tools for merchant-specific needs. My responsibilities also included implementing and optimizing AWS Step Functions to ensure robust and efficient task execution, underlining my comprehensive involvement in both front and backend development. Outside of programming, I also focused on reducing customer churn and collecting analytics using Intercom to improve the user experience and strengthen our retention strategies.
