  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.

  51. - **Developed a full-stack web application** to generate rarity
  52. rankings for NFT's integrated with OpenSea's API,
  53. enabling users to **quickly identify rare NFT's** and check
  54. their listing status, **improving market research efficiency by 80%**.
  55. - **Architected a robust Django (Python) [backend](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/rarity-surf)** to fetch and process
  56. NFT metadata from IPFS, store rarity rankings in
  57. **PostgreSQL**, and serve the data via GraphQL API, **ensuring low-latency access and scaling to handle 2,000+ concurrent requests**.
  58. - **Developed a dynamic React [frontend](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/rarity-surf-frontend)** using hooks to load
  59. rarity data in real-time, styled with Tailwind for
  60. mobile responsiveness, **improving user experience
  61. and reducing frontend load times by 70%**.

  68. using **Docker Compose** on **AWS EC2 Debian/Linux servers**,
  69. ensuring consistent environments for applications handling
  70. **over 2,000+ monthly requests**.
  71. - **Automated AWS infrastructure provisioning** by writing
  72. **Terraform** files to deploy AWS EC2 instances and Docker
  73. containers, **accelerating deployment times by 80%** and
  74. providing an easily reproducible infrastructure setup.
