Senior Software Engineer & Project Lead, We-Com
Sep, 2024 - Present
In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer and de-facto Project Lead, I am spearheading the development of a mission-critical Telecom Management System (TMS) designed to replace a 20-year-old legacy infrastructure. My core responsibility involves architecting a high-performance data ingestion engine with Laravel to parse and normalize massive Cisco Call Detail Record (CDR) datasets. I am responsible for the entire lifecycle of the project, including the containerization and deployment of the application on Kubernetes and the integration of enterprise-grade security via WSO2 using mTLS and CNS protocols. A major part of the project involved performing complex 'data archeology' to migrate and normalize inconsistent, non-unique legacy data into a modern relational structure, ensuring 100% accuracy for financial reporting. I also developed an automated PDF billing engine to handle complex telecom audits. In addition to development, I lead the technical roadmap and mentor junior team members, enforcing rigorous code quality standards and Git-flow procedures in a high-pressure, infrastructure-heavy environment.
