Contractor at The Home Depot

As the sole frontend developer across 3 interrelated teams within the same domain, I actively contribute to a dynamic Agile environment. Engaged in a comprehensive range of responsibilities, I collaborate closely with Product Owners (POs) and UX/UI designers to prototype business demands.

Involved in the entire spectrum of the development process, from planning and refinement to execution, testing, and rollout. My role extends beyond coding; it encompasses active participation in scrum ceremonies, ensuring alignment between development objectives and stakeholder expectations.

Undertook the monumental challenge of migrating a legacy full-stack application to a more robust, flexible, and modern front, marking a pivotal moment in my career. Transitioning from an internship to being entrusted with this responsibility demanded not only technical acumen but also adaptability and strategic thinking.

Faced with the team's demand for speed, particularly in handling inputs from laboratory personnel capturing photos and videos throughout the day, the project's intricacy lay in the highly technical and specific nature of each test scenario. The system had to instantaneously reflect any changes in the recorded files before uploading. What once took nearly two days for this process, post-development completion (spanning 1.5 years), was streamlined to a remarkable 15-minute wait time for changes to propagate through the entire system pipeline.

This endeavor required an in-depth exploration of the latest industry trends in both frontend and backend technologies. I strategically aligned the chosen React/Node stack with the imperative need for flexibility and scalability. This thoughtful decision played a pivotal role in the project's success, allowing us to meet the demanding requirements of the dynamic testing environment efficiently.

Engaged in a diverse range of projects during my internship, applying my skills in Android application development using Java. This included active participation in requirements gathering, software development planning, and the implementation of automations and tools using JavaScript and Node.

Acquired valuable experience in web application development using React and Redux, expanding my expertise in creating Rest APIs using Python. This hands-on exposure facilitated the successful delivery of high-quality software solutions, playing a crucial role in my transition to a permanent role within the company. It stands as a testament to the tangible value and contribution I brought to the projects, reinforcing the recognition of my skills and impact on the organization.

Implemented access control in cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Reviewed developer access and permissions, and involved in publishing architecture decisions focused on access control and profile segregation requirements.

Developed secure and compliant cloud solutions.

While the role provided essential insights into operational aspects, it became a pivotal juncture in my career journey. Discovering my passion for creative work, I realized that my true fulfillment lies in roles where creativity thrives. The experience at BTG Pactual, albeit brief, played a crucial role in guiding me towards a path where I am currently content and fulfilled, actively engaged in work that I am truly passionate about.
