“I have just a little over two years of experience as a junior software engineer with Discovery. In my time there, I've already contributed to over a dozen projects and developed a family history tool on the Discovery website. “Before this role, I completed my studies at We Think Code where I got eight months worth of practical experience through internships with QLINK and Discovery, where I honed my Web development skills. Ideally, I would like to continue with full-stack Java and Angular software engineering, an area where I know I will contribute to the success of a team and the company.” While at Discovery, I've worked on a variety of projects including: Family History Tool: I created the front-end of a tool on the Discovery website that checks the probability of a member getting chronic conditions based on their family history. I developed the tool using Angular 8. I was the lead developer on this project. Plan Matrix: Together with a team member, we created the Plan Matrix tool which helps update the Discovery scheme details during year-end. This tool is used internally. I worked on the back-end and front-end on this project. We created the project from scratch, i.e. designing database tables, UI design, creating sprints, and updating the backlog during our monthly sprints. We used the Spring Boot framework when developing the back-end micro-services, and Hibernate for database queries. Roles and Responsibilities: Conduct robust, maintainable, scalable, optimally performing system code in line with technical specifications, following prescribed process, standards and procedures. Conduct unit testing and fix defects found on existing projects. Promote new technologies and share knowledge within the team. Test and verify code before releasing, aiming to release with zero defects. Assist system users with technical support issues and handle them according to defined procedures. Technologies used: Java Spring Hibernate JUnit and Mockit Bitbucket Angular 2+ AngularJS Web Services - REST and SOUP JavaScript HTML and CSS Ansible Jenkins Monitoring/reporting tools (Elastic search and Kibana)
