Full-stack Developer

Jun 2019Sep 2019 · 3 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

  • The apprenticeship was aimed at getting hands-on with every aspect of Full Stack Development and Cloud. This involved projects that used frameworks like Spring Core, Spring MVC, Spring Boot, Angular, REST, Boilerplate, and multiple tools like Maven, Jenkins, JUnit, Mockito, Git, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, etc. The training is also aimed at the usage of strong product engineering discipline, product design, coding conventions, agile methodologies, and other industry standards for software development.
  • Worked on a project titled - FarmRevol
  • Problem Statement: Today more people are willing to pay more for getting good quality food crops because of the use of heavy pesticides used by farmers in order to cope up with the market demands. Also, this creates a heavy toll on the farmers because of multiple factors like middle-man, sudden decline in market demands, etc.
  • Solution Approach: Our solution provides a platform for both farmers and consumers to directly trade crops as per the consumers' requirements needs.
  • Value Proposition: This disrupts the existing market value chain by removing the need for the middle-man and helps both consumers and farmers to get good quality crops (as farmers will know the exact amount of crops that they need to grow and don't have to go for quantity over quality) and also the farmers as they don't have to go through the middle-man for selling their crops and can make more profits rather than undergo distress selling.
  • My Responsibilities:
  • Domain Study and Business Analysis
  • Product Engineering and Architecture Design
  • Created the Booking and Search Microservices
  • Integrated Kafka among different microservices
  • Dockerized the microservices and deployed them on Kubernetes
