Took over the responsibility of growing the development team and customs related product from the previous CTO.

The SaaS gives customers the ability to notify customs of all incoming goods and clear them for last mile delivery. My daily responsibilities include code reviews for the team, mentoring developers, communicating and prioritizing tasks with board members. The application runs on a serverless environment based on Laravel/Vue, Vapor, AWS Lambda, S3, RDS, SQS. So far, after I joined, we have made the application much faster, able to handle thousands of customs messages and millions of packages.
