she/her
Welcome to my corner of the digital world! I’m River, a Java and Golang developer passionate about crafting efficient software solutions.
I thrive in the backend, where I’ve delved into diverse projects encompassing ETLs, microservice architecture and script generation/compilation. I’m proficient in API design and adept at navigating the intricacies of ETL development for complex data. I’m also quite profiecient in the art of hiding my imposter syndrome.
I’ve built large data volume services handling an average of 250k requests weekly. I’ve also developed a script generation system that retrieves complex data and standardizes it into effective models.
I’m an advocate for Test Driven Development (TDD) and ardently believe in user trust, safety and privacy. These are values that are easily forgotten with the need for speed, so it’s important for me to advocate for them.
Outside of work, I’m a social butterfly often found navigating the local party scene or diving into intriguing events. My free time is often devoted to delving into Daoist literature, seeking a balance between spirituality and the bustling tech world. You might not expect it, but I’m also a huge nerd with an increasing interest in trading card games.
Here's some of the technologies I've worked with:Implemented high data volume services with Java Camel Orchestration,
Managed and improved ETL services with Apache Kafka and Java Spring Boot,
Improved time and space efficiency of code generation, parsing, and transpilation projects by 20-30%
Developed a Twitter connections ETL with Golang, and PostgreSQL
Double data throughput and efficiency by taking advantage of concurrency patterns
Ensured data safety by creating automated system restoration/backup procedures
Made a lot of mistakes
Throughout my program, I specialized in software engineering. I learned skills including:
