Thrilled to share that I've successfully navigated through the challenges of the Forge - Lyft - Backend Engineering simulation, covering pivotal areas in software development. I have designed microservices, fine-tuned communication protocols, and developed resilient systems in the field of Software Architecture. My refactoring process became an art form as I focused on optimizing code, tackling code smells, and making the codebase more readable. Each component was rigorously tested to ensure that it was resilient, with rigorous tests validating authentication logic, ride request handling, and more. This hands-on, immersive experience utilized Test-Driven Development (TDD) to shape robust features. After gaining these skills, I am ready to start working on real-world applications, fueled by a desire to learn and grow. #Forge #Lyft #BackendEngineering #ContinuousLearning #TechJourney

🚀 Excited to Share: Expanding My Backend Engineering Skills with Lyft Project 🚗 🔍 As part of my journey to enhance my skills as a Backend Engineer, I've undertaken a fascinating project assigned by Lyft through the Forage Platform. The project involves refactoring an existing component crucial for determining the maintenance needs of cars in Lyft’s new rental fleet upon return, based on specified criteria. 📝 Task 1: Drafting a New Architecture My initial task was to conceptualize a new architecture for this component. I began by creating a UML class diagram that reflects a reorganized structure to accommodate the evolving requirements. 💡 Implementing Design Patterns Throughout this process, I delved into various design patterns to ensure an efficient and scalable solution. One significant pattern I utilized in designing the UML class diagram is the Strategy design pattern. This behavioral design pattern allows me to define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each of them into separate classes, and seamlessly interchange them as needed. 🌟 Key Takeaways 1. Practical Application: Applying theoretical concepts in real-world scenarios enriches understanding and proficiency. 2. Collaborative Learning: Working on projects from esteemed companies like Lyft provides invaluable insights and collaborative opportunities. 3. Continuous Improvement: Embracing challenges and seeking opportunities to enhance skills is essential for personal and professional growth. 🔗 I'm eager to discuss this project further and explore collaborations within the tech community. Feel free to connect or drop a message to share insights or explore potential synergies! #BackendEngineering #DesignPatterns #ProjectExperience #Lyft #Forage #UML #StrategyPattern #ContinuousLearning #cleancode
