SEEKING WORK - Remote (GMT+2)

Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, JavaScript, Vue, Node.js, and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at http://ifdattic.com

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

    * optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
    * custom applications for improving work flows (document 
      submission, sports coaching, inventory system, etc.)
    * teaching students how to create web applications
    * set up coding standards, testing practices,
      development environment, fix security vulnerabilities,
      document inner workings of an application
    * implement CAS authentication for Single Sign On (SSO)
    * implement direct file upload to AWS S3
    * implement secure file download from AWS S3
    * profile and optimize performance

SEEKING FREELANCER (short term) | Global, Preferably Pacific Timezone (PST), Good English Communication | Remote Only

We want to create a new app that imports AWS SQS events into an AWS Aurora Postgres instance using AWS Serverless Lambda (Typescript).

There are 2 pieces to this work. The 1st piece is adding tracking events to our existing node.js Typescript backend.

  * Create a TrackingEvent class
  * Set up the server to create TrackingEvent objects when the appropriate action has happened
  * Serialize the TrackingEvent object and send to SQS

The 2nd piece is creating a new AWS Serverless (Typescript) app that loads the events.

  * Read a chunk of events from an SQS queue
  * Write them to a file in S3
  * Import the file into our AWS Aurora Postgres data warehouse instance
  * Copy or move the file into a permanent S3 location for backup

If you can build this and want to start immediately, shoot me an email and we can discuss it!
