ENGINEERING, GRAPHQL
From 2019 to 2022, I worked on the GraphQL API layer for the Starbucks apps.
The Starbucks app helps you find stores, place orders, and pay.
My team developed a backend-for-frontend, using GraphQL and NodeJS, for the Starbucks iOS, Android, and Web apps.
I led the "Order & Pay" domain's GraphQL work, which includes the screenshots you see above: Homepage/Usuals, Store Locator, and Checkout. My work included technical design, planning, coding, and testing. I also helped train and mentor new engineers, and as a team we scaled over 3X in throughput, to 2.63 billion requests per month.
