- •Designed and implemented features such as ingredient-based food filtering, user authentication with Google OAuth2, and payment processing with Paystack, ensuring seamless user experiences.
- •Optimized API performance, reducing response times to under 100ms locally and 500-1000ms in production by leveraging Redis caching and database indexing.
- •Configured Celery and Celery Beat for background task processing and scheduled tasks, enhancing system efficiency for periodic operations like subscription management.
- •Developed webhook integrations for real-time payment processing and collaborated with frontend developers to ensure smooth API consumption, including detailed documentation for endpoints.
- •Led the resolution of critical issues, such as database connection errors and OAuth2 callback handling, improving system reliability on a free Render instance and Neon DB setup.
- •Mentored junior developers, fostering a collaborative team environment and driving the adoption of best practices in code quality and testing.
Inverter Power Project • Open-Source Contribution
- •Contributed to the open-source Inverter Power Project (GitHub), focusing on firmware development for a solar inverter system using Python and Arduino.
- •Implemented PWM control algorithms and sensor interfacing for real-time power monitoring, improving energy conversion efficiency.
- •Integrated data logging with IoT platforms via MQTT, enabling performance tracking and visualization.
- •Collaborated with a global community of developers to enhance the project's modular design, adding support for customizable output waveforms and grid synchronization features.
- •Authored documentation and schematics to make the project accessible to enthusiasts and engineers, driving community engagement.
