Working with Jacky Alciné

More about what I'm doing here coming by January 2025!

Drove the on-going migration of a Hapi server to Nest.js, improving developer productivity and increasing feature development speeds.
Guided code reviews (around ~3x weekly) for changes towards the Web platform on a tight knit remote team.
Onboarded an engineer to the platform, written in TypeScript with Next.js and Hapi concurrently.
Contributed logic to the bill search view across jurisdictions, improving response times.

Worked with teammates on multiple features of the product of this early stage startup, speeding up our deployment times in the Ruby on Rails monorepo.
Produced documents about the platform to commodify understanding of the services the platform used, new and old
Mentored junior developers on the team to help accelerate their growth, using pair programming to build confidence.
Deployed changes to help reduce noise of the maintaining of vita-min, written with Ruby on Rails.
Implemented features based on feedback, inquiry meetings and other product guidance in Ruby, Python and JavaScript.

Introduced new logic for business data alignment between the Python and Clojure stacks, deployed to our AWS cluster.
Added documentation and guidelines for updating how patients were intending to register at portals, cutting down sign up time.
Ran internal brown bag meeting around my experience using Clojure and Neovim; helping improve the developer experience for those using these two together and sharing knowledge.

Led reliability efforts of benefit requests with more automated testing and metrics collection.
Expanded the developer experience for deploying PFML changes to Massachusetts.
Decreased deployment times by reviewing code of my teammates and provided real-time feedback.

Increased stability of the Glitch REST API by refactoring endpoints in the TypeScript stack
Updated internal tools to make use of the newer API endpoints, running on Node.js in TypeScript
Extended dynamic application placements from Glitch's internal mappings worked to the benefit of maintainability in the AWS ECS cluster.
Improved the React frontend for listing projects for users, increasing adoption of paid app services.

Created improvements for PDF rendering of invoices for the billing system, a long-requested feature of clients; increasing retention and cutting customer support requests in half in the Python stack.
Extended capabilities of account administrations around configuring their billing options in the React frontend and Flask backend.
Improved how integrations and the internal system were reconciled as part of a move to a different approach to billing (from an explicit tier-based system to a hybrid tier/usage-based one with grandparenting support).

Implemented a message templating system in Python and React to replace explicit calls to vendors to reach users, dramatically improving support's ability to help customers
Added adaptivity to said tooling to allow for users to adjust their channels for receiving information, increasing user privacy and control by also proxying messages and calls with the newly built service dubbed Switchboard. This added logic to help use less numbers when routing calls between users, saving Lyft money on routing costs across vendors.

Maintained the Android and Cordova SDKs for mobile developers; improving adoption
Improved in-flight requests by cutting down paths for users in authentication requests

Maintained the acceptance suite for the newer Contributor product.
Worked on extending a in-house CMS that drove the content marketing of the public facing Contributor site, reducing the need for a redeploy each time.
