• Senior software engineer (frontend)
  Aug 2022 – Present

At Kong, I’m responsible for the general maintenance and development of the UI application that is part of the Kuma and Kong Mesh products (on-premise software). As part of this, I managed the migration from Vue.js version 2 to 3. I’ve also set-up several pieces of continuous integration-based automation that range from application testing to preparing the UI application for release. Now I’m involved in developing Mesh in Konnect as part of Kong’s Konnect product (SaaS software). In short, I’m involved in all front-end development activities surrounding Kong’s service mesh offering.

Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Vue.js)

At Sendcloud, I worked in several teams on all frontend-related aspects of the platform including feature development, internationalization, API design, technical writing, general maintenance, hiring, and onboarding/mentoring of front-end developers.

I heavily contributed to planning and finalizing the multi-year effort of migrating the platform’s main frontend to a Vue.js-powered application.

Now, I’m part of the development department’s checkout team. There, I was a core contributor to establishing the foundation for a new system of features that deeply integrates with various e-commerce platforms. I’m developing the third party script responsible for rendering a custom shipping method UI in a merchant’s shop. I’m also responsible for writing the public technical documentation, designing APIs, and maintaining related legacy systems.

I also built Slidehub, a PDF document browser for easily accessing a large number of for presentations, lectures, talks, etc.

I have experience in most areas of the front-end development landscape and am comfortable working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript regardless of framework, utility library, or underlying authoring methodology. That includes:

• Planning and implementing robust interfaces for users (simple and complex UI components) and developers (APIs and tools)
• Writing technical and non-technical documentation for these interfaces and systems
• Managing and maintaining localization systems

If you’re looking for the list of buzzwords to check off of your list: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Vue.js, TypeScript, git, package publishing, OpenAPI, Phrase, Eleventy, and those I intentionally or unintentionally forgot to remember.
