Trinexum API

Role

Lead Developer. I was brought in to rescue the failing ruby API project. Over the course of my involvement I sometimes hired additional developers to help add bandwidth to the API project.

Description

The Trinexum API was built as a way to expose Trinexum Data to a variety of endpoints. The two primary endpoints where the web application that was being rewritten in ASP.NET and a mobile app being developed in PhoneGap.

The Trinexum system is a series of systems designed to help YMCAs (and similar organizations) to handle everything:

membership
card access
purchases
course registration
camp registration
etc

Task

Initially the task was to evaluate the existing code base and get the API ready for launch for a single YMCA.

After the API launched, enhancements and modifications included:

Expanding the number of YMCAs that used the new systems
Adding features so the web and mobile clients could gain parity with the previous web app
scalability
performance

Tech

Sinatra, SQL Server, Nginx, Passenger, Varnish, Ansible.

Notes

I was originally hired by NetVentures who was aquired by daxko.
