Experience
Wells Fargo
Software Engineering Associate
● Became a key contributor by delivering a modernized internal tool using Java/Spring and React/TypeScript, developing 4 RESTful APIs tested with JUnit and Karate, and led front-end development by building 6 fully functional pages and 8 reusable React components tested with Jest and Playwright. Currently maintaining this tool and another internal application, resolving defects and supporting ongoing modernization and quality efforts.
● On the back-end, I developed 4 RESTful API services, using Spring Boot with JPA, to communicate with a Microsoft SQL Server database. To test these new services, I wrote Karate and JUnit tests, and utilized Postman to manually test and validate my API services, ensuring proper request and response handling, and verifying that the payloads, headers, and tokens were functioning as expected. This allowed me to simulate different scenarios and confirm the APIs were working as intended before integrating them with the front-end.
● With my prior knowledge of React, I led front-end development for our US team. I developed 6 new fully functional pages and 8 reusable React components by utilizing Wells Fargo’s internal React library. Additionally, I integrated my own API services, as well as services developed by other engineers in my team, into the front-end to ensure that data is dynamically being fetched or posted by user interaction on the front-end. I utilized Jest for unit testing and Playwright for automated testing.
● Independently refactored the tool’s initial Playwright test suite of 81 automated tests to resolve flaky tests caused by premature assertions and data race conditions during parallel execution. This resulted in improvement of manageability, reliability, and readiness for HyperExecute and Harness deployment pipelines, while preventing CI/CD slowdowns from unnecessary test restarts due to false positives.
● Took project ownership by developing deep expertise across front-end and back-end components, mastering release and snapshot workflow management including Github Actions, release branching, and Harness deployments. Now serve as a primary technical liaison between engineering teams and business project owners, leading defect investigation and resolution, coordinating UAT deployments, and providing timely release status updates for production-impacting issues.
● Created detailed low-level designs for RESTful APIs before development, ensuring alignment with project requirements from the start. This facilitated smoother implementation, minimized downtime, and avoided rework caused by misalignment or unexpected challenges during development.
● Wrote comprehensive and detail-oriented API documentation for existing APIs. Which included the creation of sample payloads. As a result of this documentation, it increased developers' understanding of such services and facilitated seamless integration.
