Senior Backend Developer Experience at Dealertower

As a Senior Backend Developer, I was instrumental in the development of nearly 20 microservices and APIs using Python and FastAPI, creating a cohesive, scalable architecture within a cloud-based system. My work involved ensuring seamless communication and integration between these microservices, which enhanced the platform's overall reliability and functionality. This robust system was tailored to serve the automotive and heavy equipment dealership industry, demanding high efficiency and adaptability.

In my role, I managed data handling with both SQL and NoSQL databases, optimizing data structures to improve performance and scalability. The ability to work with different types of databases allowed me to design solutions that balanced the need for consistency, speed, and flexibility in handling large volumes of data. My expertise in database management was pivotal in supporting the platform’s capacity to serve more than 1 million users daily without compromising on performance or user experience.

Additionally, I integrated various third-party APIs and platforms to enhance the platform’s functionality and expand its service capabilities. This integration required a deep understanding of external services and how to align them with internal processes seamlessly. My comprehensive experience in developing and maintaining scalable, cloud-based backend systems has equipped me with the technical acumen and problem-solving skills needed to contribute effectively to any academic or research setting.
