  Micro Focus

  Feb 2023 - Aug 2023

  Software Engineer

  During my internship, I developed a configuration management service using Golang, ZooKeeper, and React.1. Backend Development: Created a backend service with Golang, using the go-zookeeper library to sync configuration data across server clusters via ZooKeeper.2. Data Management: Stored configuration data in ZooKeeper for synchronization among microservices and implemented two parallel listeners as separate goroutines: File Listener monitored and synced manual changes in configuration files across services, while the ZooKeeper Listener synced changes made via the frontend to the actual configuration files.3. Frontend Development: Built a React UI to display and modify configuration data.4. Containerization: Utilized Docker to containerize the application, making it ready for deployment and ensuring consistency across different environments.This project provided hands-on experience in backend services, distributed coordination, and frontend development and containerization, preparing me for a career in modern distributed systems and microservices.
