rarity rankings for NFT's, integrating with **leading
marketplace’s API** to enable users to quickly identify
rare NFT's and check their listing status, **improving
market research efficiency by 80%**.
- **Built a scalable Node.js backend** with REST API
endpoints to return NFTs based on customizable filters
such as max rank, price, and rarest traits. **Optimized
performance** to handle **3,000+ concurrent requests** by
implementing efficient data fetching and caching
mechanisms using **PostgreSQL** , ensuring low-latency
access to NFT data.
- **Built a dynamic React frontend (TypeScript/JavaScript)** to load and display NFTs in real-time with user-defined filters. Styled
using a mobile-responsive library, **reducing load times by 50%**.
- **Developed a Discord bot (TypeScript/JavaScript)** to notify users of profitable
resale opportunities by leveraging historical sales data
to assess deal quality. This feature **increased user
engagement by 80%** and provided a seamless way for users
to stay updated on market opportunities.

- Delivered **Tier 1/2 frontline support** for CI/CD and Kubernetes issues via a ticket queue, improving **first-response time by 40%** through better triage and routing.
- Performed **incident troubleshooting and root-cause analysis**; automated data capture/validation that resolved **80% of config errors** and **reduced downtime by 40%**.
- Wrote **clear, step-by-step knowledge-base articles** and troubleshooting flows that enabled Tier 1 to solve common probe issues, **cutting escalations by 30%**.
- Built a deployment **runbook** that standardized fixes and **reduced repeat contacts/tickets by 66%**; **shortened resolution time from 45 → 15 minutes**.
- Kept users informed with **concise status updates**, set expectations, and **de-escalated frustrated stakeholders** by focusing on next steps and time to resolution.
- Partnered with QA/DevOps to capture **root causes** of startup failures; implemented dynamic probes that **cut production launch issues by 50%**.
- **Reduced deployment time by 66%** by implementing a
[solution](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/175a6356c5474f2360ccb8ae835e0b9b2d653cf1) for deploying locally-compiled binaries onto
Kubernetes/OpenShift via command-line, **cutting average
deployment times from 45 minutes to 15 minutes**.
(**Kubernetes/GoLang** used for this and three below).
- **Eliminated 80% of manual configuration errors** by enabling
the Kubernetes operator to automatically fetch data from
deployed services and update configurations, **deprecating
legacy startup scripts and reducing overall startup time
by 40%**.
- **Improved application stability** by introducing startup
probes for legacy applications with longer boot times,
**resulting in a 50% reduction in startup-related failures
and downtime during production launches**.
- **Enhanced system reliability** by refactoring probes to
[assign default values](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/af4977af228ec8648be28779259d4552246b656f) dynamically based on deployed YAML
files and fixing reconciliation issues, **increasing probe accuracy by 30%** and preventing misconfigurations.
- **Increased CI pipeline efficiency** by rewriting the
**Jenkins (Groovy)** [nightly pipeline](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88) to run in a GitHub PR
environment, allowing for automated testing of all
team-submitted PRs prior to merging, **reducing manual
intervention by 60%**.
- **Increased project reproducibility** by taking initiative to
write a [reusable GitHub parameters file](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88#diff-7d2c018dafbccec859077d19bf1ade53ec9c7649f235528ce89f5632b109f7e6) for the pipeline,
**enabling 100% reusability** and ensuring consistent pipeline
setups across different environments.
- **Streamlined developer onboarding** by authoring
comprehensive [project documentation](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/blob/1534c03d1d26bec08a16608a775782bf8b305de9/docs/GUIDE_FOR_KOGITO_DEVS.md) and mentoring an
incoming intern, **reducing onboarding time by 50%** and
enhancing new team members' productivity within their
