Enterprise Technology Management
Manage the lifecycle of all your technology portfolio assets, from onboarding to end of life from a single source of truth. Oomnitza’s agentless solution consolidates asset data from existing disconnected silos for endpoints, applications, Cloud, networking, and accessories. As Sr. Backend Engineer at Oomnitza I was responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the backend systems that power the company's technology platform. This involved working with the rest of the engineering team to implement new features and functionality, as well as troubleshooting and resolving any issues that arise.

- Led regular meetings to share knowledge and best practices within the team
- Developed and maintained the Python backend of the Oomnitza platform
- Demonstrated expertise in Python and web frameworks, as well as relational databases
- Passionate about automating repetitive tasks, tackling technical debt, and delivering high-quality new features on time
- Led workshops on tackling technical debt and new features of the Python programming language
- Gave talks at the European Python Conference and Irish Python Conference on Hypermodern Python
- Contributed to the open-source community through blog posts and contributions to open-source projects

I was involved in the ongoing development and maintenance of the Python back end services, improving test coverage, refactoring legacy code and implementing new features, as well as improving the performance and scalability.

PrimarySite is the leading provider of websites for primary schools in the UK, with a market share of about 30% (around 4000 Schools). It helps schools and trusts to communicate with their key audiences. PrimarySite builds websites specially designed to meet the needs of schools and trusts and provides a host of school communication tools to help with parental engagement.

I improved the existing CMS, built in Django/Python with a PostgreSQL database, and added new features and service. I helped with onboarding of new-starters introducing them into our codebase, service oriented architecture, our processes, coding standards, style and guidelines. Furthermore, I mentored members of other departments in the company who wanted to cross train into software development. We continuously improved our processes, and paid off technical debt making the implementation more SOLID, easier to maintain and extend.

Achievements:
• Decompose the legacy monolithic applications into smaller more manageable services.
• Develop APIs to communicate between internal and external services
• Lead the development of the video resource centre.
• Introduction of the mass email service.
• Design and improve the architecture of new services and existing services.
• Automate the boring things to improve the CI process to ensure test coverage, enforce code style guidelines and scan for security vulnerabilities.
• Improve the test coverage from 70% to 95% o the legacy system and ensured all new services had 97% - 100% code coverage.
• Performance optimizations of the applications and databases.
• Prototype a data warehouse, ETL pipelines, denormalization for ROLAP, and analytics platform.
