    Projects

    Authored

    Shopify Terraform provider

    A Terraform provider originally created to manage Shopify webhooks. The project was forked from an unmaintained one (edahlseng/terraform-provider-shopify), improved and made production-ready during my tenure at Altitude-Sports.

    Salesforce Webhooks

    The purpose of this package is to provide a convenient interface to the Salesforce API in order to create or delete webhooks in the Salesforce platform. It offers a simple interface to create basic webhooks for “created”, “updated” or “deleted” events on any SObject type (although such types must be triggerable, as specified by an SObject’s metadata)

    I created this project from scratch to develop Salesforce components for Pipedream. It allows these components from receiving Salesforce events instantaneously by leveraging the Apex platform to execute code on Salesforce that reacts to events and sends them over to a specified endpoint via an HTTP POST request.

    Open Source Contributions

    I am an advocate of open source software, which sometimes lacks some feature that I need, or I encounter bugs that impact my specific use cases. Whenever possible, I contribute back to the software I use by addressing those needs I mentioned, either by implementing a fix, filing an issue, or reviewing a PR.

    These are some of the projects to which I contributed:

    Sentry
    rstar
    oh-my-bash
    jekyll-TeXt-theme
    jekyll-TeXt-theme
    serverless-plugin-git-variables
    Terraform AWS Provider

    Technical Skills

    Programming Languages

    Below is a list of all the programming languages with which I spent considerable time making something of relative value (either professionally, academically or as a hobby or side project). I’m particularly curious when it comes to unknown (to me) programming languages, and so I played around with more languages than I can remember. This means that the list is not an exhaustive one, but it’s useful in this context.

    NOTE: this list is sorted by preference, from higher to lower.
