* Certn - Workday Integration

** About the project
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       974a4ccd-b8bf-4d4f-8b52-9d3aad59d664
:END:
[[https://certn.co/][Certn]] is an app that wants to ease the process of background checks for criminal records, education,
employment verification, credit reports, etc.

On Workday I had to work with their client, [[https://www.loblaws.ca/][Loblaws]], to integrate Certn with their [[https://www.workday.com/][Workday]] instance. I
quickly realized that their Workday implementation was not standard, so I had to modify multiple
open-source SOAP projects (including [[https://github.com/mvantellingen/python-zeep][python-zeep]]) to work with their setup.

We had 6 months to finish the project and I was able to finish it in only 3 months, which allowed us to
make changes, improve the security and work on client changes that came up almost at the end of the
project.

This project led to Certn closing a multi-million dollars a year contract with Loblaws.

- Team lead
- Moved the entire project to docker and docker-compose. Before it, the
  development environment has pretty tricky to setup. 
- Improved the old code, introducing standards with esLint and smoke tests.
- Configured a VPN and an Ubuntu VNC session in docker to help with the proxy
  and the non-headless browser.
- Created new crawlers for the new vendors.
- Configured the new Kibana dashboard.
- Created a gatekeeper to check the crawlers status before going out to the
  internet. 
- Monitored and ran many crawlers.

:END:
"Tus Tapas Valen" was an application that allowed clients to participate in
promotions and auctions, and win prizes. We got to 400.000 users in the time the
app was online. First I worked FrontEnd with ReactJS, Redux and
redux-observable, but then I moved to the Backend. I had to plan a big
refactor while still working on new Backend functionalities. The Backend is
built using Python, Django, PostgreSQL, AWS, and AWS S3
