Im most proud of one of my recent projects - architecting an event-driven system
for caching analysis outcomes, building a microservice to vend the outcomes
while also migrating existing data from DynamoDB to OpenSearch.
Reasons:
1. The existing data model was limiting in that it was not extensible to cache
other NLP analysis  outcome except translation for which it was built initially.
This made the system not usable for other newer use cases. I designed a new data
model that was generic and extensible to other analysis and allowed caching of
other results
2. Opensearch was a technology unfamiliar to our team and it involved a steep
learning curve for me and other people who worked on the project. I made sure I
documented any new learnings/choices so it was easier for the other team members
to pick up and work on it. I setup separate sessions with the other 2 engineers
who worked on it to go over some details like VPC, how private links are setup
etc to unblock them
3. I setup CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
4. Setup metrics and alarms through Infrastructure as code
Result:
We were able to launch the project within tight deadlines
