  9. - **Reduced deployment time by 66%** by implementing a
  10. [solution](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/175a6356c5474f2360ccb8ae835e0b9b2d653cf1) for deploying locally-compiled binaries onto
  11. Kubernetes/OpenShift via command-line, **cutting average
  12. deployment times from 45 minutes to 15 minutes**.
  13. (**Kubernetes/GoLang** used for this and three below).
  14. - **Eliminated 80% of manual configuration errors** by enabling
  15. the Kubernetes operator to automatically fetch data from
  16. deployed services and update configurations, **deprecating
  17. legacy startup scripts and reducing overall startup time
  18. by 40%**.
  19. - **Improved application stability** by introducing startup
  20. probes for legacy applications with longer boot times,
  21. **resulting in a 50% reduction in startup-related failures
  22. and downtime during production launches**.
  23. - **Enhanced system reliability** by refactoring probes to
  24. [assign default values](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/af4977af228ec8648be28779259d4552246b656f) dynamically based on deployed YAML
  25. files and fixing reconciliation issues, **increasing probe
  26. accuracy by 30%** and preventing misconfigurations.
  27. - **Increased CI pipeline efficiency** by rewriting the
  28. **Jenkins (Groovy)** [nightly pipeline](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88) to run in a GitHub PR
  29. environment, allowing for automated testing of all
  30. team-submitted PRs prior to merging, **reducing manual
  31. intervention by 60%**.
  32. - **Demonstrated leadership and collaboration** by actively
  33. contributing to Agile sprint planning in a 12-member team,
  34. driving improvement in sprint velocity through
  35. optimized task delegation and idea generation.
  36. - **Increased project reproducibility** by taking initiative to
  37. write a [reusable GitHub parameters file](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88#diff-7d2c018dafbccec859077d19bf1ade53ec9c7649f235528ce89f5632b109f7e6) for the pipeline,
  38. **enabling 100% reusability** and ensuring consistent pipeline
  39. setups across different environments.
  40. - **Streamlined developer onboarding** by authoring
  41. comprehensive [project documentation](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/blob/1534c03d1d26bec08a16608a775782bf8b305de9/docs/GUIDE_FOR_KOGITO_DEVS.md) and mentoring an
  42. incoming intern, **reducing onboarding time by 50%** and
  43. enhancing new team members' productivity within their
  44. first sprint.

  50. - **Deployed and maintained [multiple web applications](https://kevin-mok.com/server/)**
  51. using **Docker Compose** on **AWS EC2 Debian/Linux servers**,
  52. ensuring consistent environments for applications handling
  53. **over 2,000+ monthly requests**.
  54. - **Automated AWS infrastructure provisioning** by writing
  55. [**Terraform** files](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/terraform-deploys/tree/main) to deploy AWS EC2 instances and Docker
  56. containers, **accelerating deployment times by 80%** and
  57. providing an easily reproducible infrastructure setup.
  58. - **Improved web application accessibility** by
  59. configuring **AWS Route 53**’s DNS and **NGINX** to route
  60. subdomains to individual web apps, **enabling seamless
  61. navigation between apps**.
  62. - **Built a uptime monitoring system** by writing a
  63. [JavaScript script](https://git.kevin-mok.com/Kevin-Mok/server-pages/src/branch/master/server-pages.service) and setting up a systemd
  64. service/timer to check and display page uptime,
  65. **ensuring near real-time monitoring and reducing downtime
  66. time by 95%**.

  73. - **Architected a robust Django (Python) [backend](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/rarity-surf)** store NFT rarity rankings in
  74. **PostgreSQL** and serve the data via GraphQL API, **ensuring low-latency access and scaling to handle 2,000+ concurrent requests**.
  75. - **Developed a dynamic React [frontend](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/rarity-surf-frontend)** using hooks to load
  76. rarity data in real-time, styled with Tailwind for
  77. mobile responsiveness, **improving user experience
