Check-In Manager (ChiMe) and Version Control Automation Tools

ChiMe (Check-In Manager):
Led the development of an in-house check-in management system with a monolithic architecture, used across multiple R&D departments. Spearheaded the project to transition ChiMe to a microservices architecture using FastAPI and React, significantly improving scalability, maintainability, and performance.

• Integrated code review systems like Swarm and Code Collaborator, streamlining review cycles, reducing code review bottlenecks, and improving team efficiency by 25%.
• Managed complex dependency resolution across multi-team projects, ensuring seamless code check-ins and integrations.
• Automated continuous integration (CI) and regression testing pipelines, reducing manual intervention and cutting regression time by 30%.
• Implemented real-time status tracking for check-in requests, improving transparency and reducing response time for issue resolution.
• Architected the migration from monolithic to microservices, leading to faster deployment cycles, reduced system downtime, and easier maintenance of independent services.
• Developed a VSCode extension using TypeScript to enhance the developer lifecycle, improving productivity and streamlining development workflows.

vgp4checkin (Version Control Automation Tool):
Designed and developed a command-line tool to automate and optimize version control processes, improving efficiency and reducing human error during check-in requests.

• Built customizable templates for different check-in types, tailoring automation to fit diverse project needs and improving accuracy in check-ins.
• Automated reviewer assignment and dependency management for parent streams, streamlining workflow and improving collaboration between teams.
• Developed automated regression testing and branch requests for infrastructure changes, with integrated error handling to catch and resolve common issues, minimizing downtime and disruptions in development.
