Student's could log in to this website using their university login credentials which made us of LDAP. Data was stored permanently in a MySQL database so that statistics could be viewed later.An attendance statistics website was accessible to those with a particular role assigned to their LDAP user and allowed lecturers to view and compare attendance of an individual or the group with previous lectures.

      Worked as part of a small agile development team following Scrum to deliver new requirements, while also maintaining existing code and moving the product forward. Other responsibilities include managing, maintaining a CI system, providing help to the support team wherever needed, bug and feature review and performing estimations (T-shirt sizing and later story points) for new bugs or feature requests.I have also been involved in interviewing, onboarding and mentoring new members of the team, to help them get a better knowledge of the product.Individual implementations include:* Implementing Elastic Search as a cache avoiding database contact when necessary. Additional support of preloading and caching of additional artefacts when conditions are met. * Writing a DSL with a custom parser using ANTLR4 to allow specific, yet flexible input. Custom parser reports errors and returns collection of objects on valid input.* Elastic Search data consistency checker - A process that runs periodically to ensure the data that published to Elastic Search is in sync with what is stored within the database.* Data Export service based on Spring Boot which loads a proprietary data model (via an existing data access service) which generically describes the payload of a SOAP/REST service or Event message, and transforms that data into Avro Schema using the SchemaBuilder provided by the Apache Avro library.
