Featured Projects
Devmy Project Management System
This project was born from my need to standardize and simplify development in Devmy projects, reducing complexity and improving productivity. I analyzed, proposed, and then developed a common roadmap, adopting tools like PNPM, GitHub Flow, Semantic Release, and pipelines on GitLab.
The heart of the system is the Devmy-CLI, which generates ready-to-use scaffolds, speeding up project startup. I also created shared packages, initial configurations, and importable pipelines to ensure consistency and code quality.
All resources are documented in the CLI Devmy Docs, for fast and clear onboarding. 🚀
Technologies
- Dart
- Mason
- npm
- CI/CD
Results Achieved
- Faster project setup: Reduced initial configuration time (scaffold, environment, deploy, pipeline) from days to minutes.
- Optimized code review: Introduced a shared ESLint package, Husky, and pre-configured SonarQube, improving review quality and speed.
- Unified Dev Experience: Standardized npm commands, ports, and configurations to reduce time needed to start and understand a project.
- Simplified workflow: Eliminated 90% of manual operations with pre-configured pipelines (Semantic Release, GitHub Flow).
- Secure variable management: Centralized environment variables with Dotenv Vault, reducing errors and improving security.
- Accelerated onboarding: Documented the system, reducing integration time for new developers (CLI Documentation).
Version Pilot
Version Pilot automates and secures deployment management and release updates for a complex ecosystem of web applications and APIs distributed across multiple clients, each with customized versions.
The client manages a series of frontend applications (including whitelabel) and REST APIs with reusable modules. Each library, frontend, and backend is released with its own versioning system and deployed across multiple clients, with features varying based on respective versions and customizations, greatly increasing the complexity of dependency and release management.
Results Achieved
- Architecture designed from scratch: Designed and developed the entire system, from the CLI to the Neo4j-based backend, creating a scalable and automated infrastructure.
- Client acquisition through an effective demo: Prototyped a working CLI and a Neo4j database, demonstrating real-time dependency management between projects with example queries based on real problems.
- Immediate wow effect: The client saw the rudimentary solution in action within minutes, using real data and a clear interface.
- Complete versioning automation: Eliminated manual version management between projects and dependencies, reducing errors and improving deployment security.
Digital Surveillance and Monitoring Systems
The system provides an advanced backend solution for real-time monitoring of data such as video, audio, and geolocated information. With an on-premise infrastructure and a scalable architecture based on NestJS, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Oracle, it ensures efficiency and reliability in processing and long-term data storage. The system allows controlled access to real-time data with authorization levels to ensure information security. Additionally, it includes notification and alarm features, enhancing the monitoring and information management process.
- Expanded collaboration with the client: The effectiveness of the adopted solutions strengthened the relationship with the client, leading to new project assignments and increasing trust in our company as a key technology partner.
- CD/CI infrastructure: I created and configured the entire CD/CI infrastructure for automated test execution, builds, and deployments across various environments and remote machines in VPN, improving development and release efficiency.
- Re-design of critical components: Leveraging my experience, I led the redesign of critical code components, enhancing maintainability, scalability, and performance to handle larger data loads without compromising performance.
- Software development support: I actively participated in software development, contributing to improved code quality, facilitating the integration of notification and alarm systems, and enhancing overall system reliability.
