Description:
Zing X Billing was an legacy solution requiring manual runs to generate billing files, disconnected from production systems. The project’s objective was to build a self-service billing platform, enabling accounting users to independently generate billing files with improved automation, reliability, and integration.

Key Result Areas:

• Collaborated as part of a 10-member engineering team in the advertising domain.
• Designed and architected RESTful APIs in .NET 5, with full documentation, ensuring scalability and ease of integration.
• Developed interactive dashboards using React and DevExpress UI components, improving usability for accounting teams.
• Migrated and containerized legacy billing services, deploying Dockerized images onto GKE for scalability and high availability.
• Improved billing file generation workflows, reducing manual interventions and enabling self-service adoption by 100% of accounting users.
• Ensured quality delivery using Azure DevOps pipelines and test-driven development (TDD) practices.

Achievements:

• Transformed billing from a manual, error-prone process into a fully automated, production-ready system, cutting generation time from hours to minutes.
• Successfully integrated the billing platform with production systems, improving operational efficiency, and reducing downtime.
