- **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%**.
- **Demonstrated leadership and collaboration** by actively
contributing to **Agile** sprint planning in a 12-member team,
driving improvement in sprint velocity through
optimized task delegation and idea generation.
- **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
first sprint.

languages="Python, JavaScript, React, Django"

- **Developed a full-stack web application** to generate rarity
rankings for NFT's integrated with OpenSea's API,
enabling users to **quickly identify rare NFT's** and check
their listing status, **improving market research efficiency by 80%**.
- **Reverse engineered a proprietary ranking algorithm** to
mirror the leading rarity ranking sites results,
**achieving 99.75% accuracy** by
utilizing data scraping techniques [with Selenium](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/rarity-surf/blob/django/rarity_check/project/scrape.py),
increasing the platform's trustworthiness among users.
- **Optimized purchasing strategy** by leveraging the app to
frontrun competitors in purchasing top 0.5% rarity NFTs,
**boosting acquisition success rate by 90%** and allowing
users to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace.
- **Architected a robust Django (Python) [backend](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/rarity-surf)** to fetch and process
NFT metadata from IPFS, store rarity rankings in
**PostgreSQL**, and serve the data via GraphQL API, **ensuring low-latency access and scaling to handle 2,000+ concurrent requests**.
- **Developed a dynamic React [frontend](https://github.com/Kevin-Mok/rarity-surf-frontend)** using hooks to load
rarity data in real-time, styled with Tailwind for
mobile responsiveness, **improving user experience
and reducing frontend load times by 70%**.
