Answers are based on Alexander Herlan Resume 2024.md, the source for the
|
|
selected version
|
|
5 resume. Add future questions and answers below.
|
|
|
|
1. Which of these have you worked on, and where? Financial information systems,
|
|
financial
|
|
data in healthcare, audio and transcription, or AI-intensive products.
|
|
|
|
Answer:

|
Financial systems: Equity Funding Source (mortgage lending), Covius (real estate
|
|
auctions). AI: SafeSchoolz (object detection), MyTap (NLP), SEAD (document
|
|
recognition).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. 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, within a broader technology career spanning over 27 years. My roles
|
|
include Lead Developer at MyTap, Software Engineer at SEAD Software, Senior
|
|
Software Engineer at Covius, and independent full-stack development. My
|
|
experience covers web and mobile applications, REST APIs, database engineering,
|
|
legacy-system modernization, cloud deployment, and ongoing production support.
|
|
|
|
3. 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:
|
|
I have extensive hands-on experience with comparable full-stack frameworks,
|
|
primarily using JavaScript, Python, and relational databases. At MyTap, I built
|
|
a responsive frontend and maintained a Django backend with PostgreSQL for a
|
|
recommendation platform. At Covius, I contributed to the frontend and backend
|
|
redesign of RealtyBid.com, using Angular and RxJS with REST APIs and
|
|
asynchronous auction updates. More recently, I built a mortgage-lending platform
|
|
using Preact and Bun, deployed on Cloudflare, and a PHP/PostgreSQL membership
|
|
platform. These projects involved frontend development, backend business logic,
|
|
database integration, and deployment.
|
|
|
|
4. 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 status: Needs confirmation before submission.
|
|
The resume documents AWS infrastructure management and Cloudflare deployments,
|
|
but no Terraform project. Have you used Terraform directly? If so, which project
|
|
and cloud resources did you manage?
|
|
|
|
5. 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 (draft pending automation details):
|
|
At SEAD Software, I implemented Microsoft Azure DevOps development
|
|
infrastructure and worked on development pipelines supporting healthcare and
|
|
legal applications. I maintained a large Git repository serving multiple
|
|
clients, trained staff on Azure DevOps, and maintained AWS infrastructure
|
|
supporting those projects. My responsibilities also included software quality
|
|
control and deployment through my related role at Clarity Diagnostics.
|
|
|
|
Details needed before submission: What did those pipelines automate (builds,
|
|
tests, packaging, deployments), and where did they deploy?
