      • +
    • Consolidated cloud resources by using Kubernetes.
      • +
    • + Successfully transitioned a top-level domain from a + self-hosted legacy site frontend by Cloudflare and nginx, to + one hosted by Vercel, while maintaining custom routes that + were handled by nginx and keeping the legacy site online + under a subdomain. +
      • +
    • + Setup CI/CD pipelines with DroneCI and Gitlab; in addition + to locally-runnable deploy scripts which reduced + time-to-deployment from 5 minutes to 15 seconds. +
      • +
    • + Setup Clickhouse for analytics and as a read-only copy of + MySQL data. Reduced query times from minutes to fractions of + a second. +
      • +
    • + Implemented a revamped phone system using a finite-state + machine. Content from the site is available and browsable by + phone, dynamically. +
      • +
    • + Setup supporting services in Kubernetes, such as Gitlab, + OpenTelemetry, a private Docker registry, a private NPM + registry, Grafana, and others. Transcoder pipeline + troubleshooting time was halved using OpenTelemetry tracing, + with spans stored in self-hosted Clickhouse, visualized in + Grafana. +
      • +
    • + Worked with (in no particular order): Node.js, Redis, MySQL, + PostgreSQL, RethinkDB, Elasticsearch, Clickhouse, Docker, + Nomad, Consul, Kubernetes, Helm, nginx, DigitalOcean + Droplets, Vercel, S3, Cloudflare, Express.js, React, React + Native, Next.js, Swagger +

    + Custom Full-Stack eCommerce website + Created custom e-commerce website, both front-end and + back-end, from scratch; was at piazzaoptical.com (code at + https://git.sakal.us/avraham/piazzaoptical.com).
