Life As A Software Engineer

Daily at work, I get to work mainly with various technologies within the vast JavaScript ecosystem. From creating or updating existing React components in a Next.js application to debugging a failing E2E test suite within a GitHub CI/CD pipeline.

Life As An Indie Hacker

Here are some of the public projects I have worked on and the technologies I used to build them.

Event-Driven Currency Predictor

This project was built as coursework for my CST3130 Advanced Web and Big Data module at Middlesex University, London . The application uses an Event Driven Architecture (EDA) deployed to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to pull prices for forex currencies from the AlphaAdvantage API.

It also analyzes public news on the currencies to get a sentiment value and stores them in a DynamoDB table for prediction using AWS SageMaker.

Technologies

  • AWS SageMaker

  • AWS S3 Buckets

  • AWS API Gateway

  • AWS DynamoDB

  • AWS Lambda Functions

  • HTML / CSS static resources

Figma Tickets Plugin

In my past roles as a Frontend Engineer, I've often seen project managers and other engineers (including myself) spend a significant amount of time creating tickets within the epics for a sprint to implement a specific design or feature. I think Generative AI models are better suited for this task!

I wrote a Figma Plugin that extracts frames from Figma and passes the frame to a GenAI model (GPT-4o) to generate a title, description, acceptance criteria, and implementation scope for the ticket. If you're pleased with the generated data, the plugin also creates a ticket within a task management board (e.g, Trello) in the board and column of your choosing.

Technologies

  • Figma Plugin API

  • React Vite

  • TailwindCSS

Life As A Technical Writer

Outside my working hours, I write technical articles focused on using services from public cloud and CMS platforms for developer focused organizations such as for LogRocket, Okta, DigitalOcean, and the AWS Developer Community.
