  • Assisted with planning, designing, coding, testing, devops, documenting, and maintaining software applications.
  • Optimized the design of storing data in the Couchbase DB and Redis cache, which was giving us data syncing problems. This reduced the query timeouts, as well as helped in cost optimization.
