The system for reading from a variable number of sources (API, FTP, URL, etc.) inventories was implemented from scratch.

This data is later normalized and enhanced using machine learning libraries, which run against data from previously stored units. All this data can be exported.

This project significantly expanded my knowledge of API implementations and SOLID design principles. Each dealership managed data differently, so we had to identify commonalities among them. Additionally, the logging system we implemented has been very effective for tracking issues.

I also collaborated on other projects, including those on the frontend side, using Nuxt 3.0.

I can divide my work in this company into these two stages:

Initially, I worked on a CiviCRM extension to manage cases, which involve a set of related activities.

I worked as a Senior Backend developer, along with two other developers in the same position and two frontend developers. I assisted in many new functionalities and maintenance of the existing ones. I was able to develop using TDD since the extensions were already prepared for that.

After that, I was moved to the Drupal team. We worked on Drupal modules that allow CiviCRM users to update their profiles, membership, and other details that otherwise would be only accessible through the CiviCRM interface. This is known as SSP: Self-Service Portal.

Also, we developed a tool for creating websites that complements the SSP previously mentioned, named "Core Website". This uses Bootstrap 5 as a CSS framework, and we offer the ability to customize many of the details by exposing SASS variables on the admin Drupal panel, and compiling the CSS "on the fly".

In both stages, I learned the technologies (CiviCRM, Drupal 7) and current products quickly, allowing me to collaborate almost immediately with the team.
