I am a backend developer (python primarily) who also works with DevOps technologies.

Check out my pinned repositories for some examples of the kinds of things I've done. The most interesting thing I worked on extracurricularly is:

• I created an updated mechanism of sending odd keycode combinations for the QMK firmware targeting the Planck EZ Glow keyboard
• This allows one to use it alongside AutoHotKey for use as macro board, stream deck, etc.

I am a programmer and IT specialist who has vetted, onboarded, and integrated various SaaS solutions for small and mid-size companies in the AI/ML SaaS, e-commerce, shipping, and inventory management spaces. I have been using Python (3.5+) to solve problems in numerous operations for about five years. Prior to and alongside my software development projects, I was a project manager for several internal software products and I also served as a mentor for numerous beginner programmers through a bootcamp program. My most recent experience is centered around backend technologies such as RESTful APIs, microservices, and ETL processes. Prior to that, I gained deep experience in writing programs and integrations for ecommerce and business-related domains such as:

• inventory management
• shipping
• physical product refurbishment
• technical support
• invoicing
• price tracking
• customer solutions
• long-term relationship management.

Most recently, I worked for SupportLogic.io as a backend developer, focusing on the ETL/ELT processes in the data ingestion system, also working on a replacement for our data import tool.

• Python (preferably 3.8+), though I'm not a stranger to JavaScript/ES6 and shell scripting as well
• Django, though I'm familiar with Flask
• FastAPI
• Pandas, Bokeh, MatPlotLib for reporting/data
• PostgreSQL (sometimes MySQL)
• Click, Rich, tqdm for command-line
• Linux/Debian, though I'm familiar with Windows and Mac OS
• Docker for deployed code
• Git for version control

I have a 6+ years of experience in:

• programming in Python 3+
• designing, documenting, and consuming RESTful APIs
• creating command-line applications
• creating Django and Flask apps
• querying databases and using Pandas to write reports
• AWS backend development (EC2/RDS/Lambda/Cloudwatch)
• QA
• documenting existing code
• documenting on-the-ground processes and...
  • streamlining them
  • supporting them with internal tools
  • suggesting and adapting to new changes and processes
• vetting, integrating, and supporting SaaS solutions for company needs, customers, and high-profile business clients
• using low code/no code tools and training departments to use them effectively
• working in secure environments

I also have been a Linux user in some form since 1999!

• I have 12 years of experience with Ubuntu, and I find myself at home on Debian and Debian-derived distros.
• I've self-hosted tons of applications:
  • SubSonic (music library streamer)
  • Calibre (ebook library)
  • Calibre-web (a secondary spotify-inspired interface for Calibre)
  • Plex (video and photo library streamer)
  • Wallabag (Pocket/ReadItLater clone)
  • DokuWiki (wiki systems with access controls and plugins)
• Experience setting up TLS and using NGINX reverse-proxies for a variety of reasons
• SSH/RClone/Rsync/etc
• Redhat 6 was my first, but I quickly moved to SuSE then Mandrake due to issues with my WinSoft modem.
• Jumped onboard with Ubuntu with Dapper Drake (6.06), tried derivations, and moved to hyper-minimalist Debian distros (BunsenLabs)
• Can install and use Arch if required

• Organized and project managed a hackathon group, taking an idea for a self-serve onboarding tool starting at defining stages and through to MVP. (SupportLogic 2022)
• Created in-depth documentation targeted at DevOps for the triage, logging, and resolution of critical customer ETL processes. (SupportLogic 2022)
• Mentored and guided 2 junior devs through onboarding and critical triage practices, directly decreasing customer response time. (SupportLogic 2022)
• Mentored, educated, and prepared five beginner-level students at Rmotr for Junior Developer positions, kickstarting their career changes. (Rmotr 2016)
• Analyzed a process for returns management that utilized 12 staff members between 3 departments and 4 managers that used Google Docs and created a no/low code database application in 5 weeks, which tripled staff output, saved roughly $20,000/month, and increased customer satisfaction by 22%. (Spytec GPS 2018)
• Wrote for How-To Geek, author page: YatriTrivedi
• Held both Secretary and President-equivalent board positions in multiple organizations.
