Repositive

Software Developer November 2017 Cambridge, UK

Repositive is changing the way genetics researchers discover and interact with human DNA data. Data access is difficult and time consuming, a bottleneck for advances in cancer and genetic diseases research. Our ambition is to provide a data access process so smooth, it will be as simple as ’one click to DNA data access.

I developed a web platform for categorizing, searching and sharing PDX cancer models within a team of 8 developers:

  • Developed a large Ember.js frontend application using JavaScript and Redux.
  • Developed API endpoints in a custom backend with TypeScript and Postgres.
  • Worked close to our Team Lead to help to refactor monolithic backend services into an event-sourcing DDD microservices architecture.
  • Writing unit and acceptance tests with Mirage and BDD tests with Cucumber.
  • Designed a mobile-first demonstrator of our PDX platform using React.js, Redux and Bulma.
