07.2023 - 11.2025
- Developed Node.js APIs for the Unified Driver List (UDL) to provision drivers across AWS Cognito and backend services, supporting authentication for users both with and without email addresses and enabling consistent driver onboarding across supported login scenarios.
- Automated scheduled report delivery by building the AngularJS scheduling workflow and Intermediate Server APIs, integrating Node.js, Webhooks, and Courier with backend-triggered schedules to deliver recurring event and diagnostic reports via email, eliminating the need for customers to manually access the portal for recurring reports.
- Built an event-driven portal notification pipeline using Kafka, Node.js, DynamoDB, SuprSend, and AngularJS, replacing reliance on event emails with actionable in-portal notifications containing direct links to detected events and downloadable reports, giving customers a centralized way to access critical updates.
- Implemented notification reliability with retry handling for failed portal and email notifications, allowing up to three delivery attempts and adding user-controlled notification preferences, enhancing delivery resilience and reducing notification noise.
