Recently, my focus has shifted to building a set of micro services to support specialized savings approaches within the official bank application.
- Researched and learned about best option frameworks in Python
- Built several Python prototypes as proof of concept for various micro services
- Built a Python package to extend the lightweight API framework we're using to validate JWT signatures and authorize based on claims
- Actively building and refactoring micro services to operate smoothly with each other and services maintained by other org teams
- Have been strongly involved in the devops process coordinating many AWS services to deploy Dockerized services
