Full-stack software development role
|
|
|
|
1. This role requires a minimum of 5-10 years of experience in software
|
|
development. Can you confirm you meet this requirement and briefly describe the
|
|
nature of your experience?
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
Yes. I have more than nine years of professional software development experience
|
|
across lead developer, software engineer, senior engineer, and freelance roles.
|
|
My work includes full-stack web applications, REST APIs, database engineering,
|
|
mobile development, legacy-system modernization, and cloud deployment. I have
|
|
delivered solutions for real estate, mortgage lending, healthcare, membership
|
|
management, and AI-powered applications.
|
|
|
|
2. Please describe your hands-on experience with full-stack development,
|
|
specifically with the PERN (PostgreSQL, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack or
|
|
comparable frameworks.
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
My full-stack experience includes PostgreSQL and comparable JavaScript and
|
|
Python frameworks. At MyTap, I built a responsive frontend and maintained a
|
|
Django/PostgreSQL backend for a recommendation platform. At Covius, I helped
|
|
redesign RealtyBid.com with Angular, RxJS, REST APIs, and asynchronous auction
|
|
updates. More recently, I delivered a Preact/Bun mortgage-lending platform on
|
|
Cloudflare and a PHP/PostgreSQL membership platform. My responsibilities span
|
|
frontend interfaces, backend logic, database integration, and production
|
|
deployment.
|
|
|
|
3. The client requires proficiency in infrastructure coding tools like
|
|
Terraform. Can you provide an example of a project where you used Terraform to
|
|
define and manage cloud infrastructure?
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
My closest relevant experience is managing AWS infrastructure for multiple
|
|
client projects at SEAD Software and deploying a mortgage-lending platform on
|
|
Cloudflare. For the latter, I used Workers for server-side execution, D1 for
|
|
relational data, Durable Objects for real-time messaging, and R2 for document
|
|
storage. These projects demonstrate hands-on cloud infrastructure and deployment
|
|
experience; they are not Terraform-specific examples.
|
|
|
|
4. This position requires expertise in managing CI/CD pipelines. Please describe
|
|
a CI/CD pipeline you have built or significantly managed, including the tools
|
|
used and the automation achieved.
|
|
|
|
Answer:
|
|
At SEAD Software, I implemented Azure DevOps development infrastructure and
|
|
worked on development pipelines for healthcare and legal applications. I
|
|
maintained a large Git repository supporting multiple clients, trained staff on
|
|
Azure DevOps, and managed supporting AWS infrastructure. This work streamlined
|
|
team coordination and development workflows. Through my related role at Clarity
|
|
Diagnostics, I also managed software quality control, deployment, and training.
