I'm Jonathan Garibsingh.

• Primary job function of backend development, but have since shifted into an Ops/DevOps role as has been necessary.


• Cloud Infrastructure: Worked closely with Amazon Web Services and Digital Ocean to implement server hosting through container clustering, database hosting, metric aggregration, DNS management and object storage. Optimising performance and operational costs were a large focus throughout development.
• Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment: Using Github Actions, implemented automated testing, semantic versioning and containerising. Deployments are automated using custom structures and AWS/DO's container services.
• API Development: Created a custom REST API using TypeScript and Express with structured routing primarily for use by user-facing client applications. Maintained accurate and interactive documentation to facilitate frontend development.
• Database Maintainence: Engineered relational (PostgreSQL), document/noSQL (Firebase Realtime Database/Firestore) and in-memory databases (Redis) with various schemas and frequent, varied operations including realtime data access.
• Internal Tooling / Directing: Developed private tools for both administrative and developer use. Tooling aimed to reduce friction for common internal tasks and offer specific features for our use-cases not available elsewhere. Additionally, instructed and advised on best practices leading to increased productivity and growth.

• Cause & Effect Spreadsheets
• Translated data from technical drawings to spreadsheets for use by operators.

• Revisions to technical drawings alongside senior engineers.
• Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams
• Complex Loop Drawings
• Logic Drawings

• Game Installer
• Developed installer for small indie game, allowing for easy distribution and updates
• Worked with game developers to ensure the installer met their needs
• Used GitHub to keep code organised, release new versions, and track issues/bug reports
• Quickly scaffolded the project using a modern tech stack, including TypeScript, Vue, and Electron

• Developed a Course Search tool tailored to our institution with the goal of improving upon existing course tools with additional features such as personal experiences, course difficulty and a more intuitive search system.


• Worked with team members to design a project to help fellow students
• Developed an API to interface with the project’s frontend
• Created interactive API documentation, prioritising frontend developer experience
• Used a modern tech stack, including TypeScript, ExpressJS, and PostgreSQL

• Internal Game Design Tool
• Developed internal tooling to improve the team's quality of life
• Iterated on original design, added or updated features based on user feedback
• Implemented complex features such as simulations, allowing the team to rapidly prototype unreleased content
• Tracked and organised code updates using source control system (Git)
• Designed the software in a modular way for ease of development and approachability

Applied education in software engineering with a highlight on full-stack development.

Programming experience and pattern exposure to topics such as Game Development, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Databases.
