Kierian L. Full-Stack, Cloud and Modern Frameworks

My name is Kierian L. and I have over 2 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: node.js, JavaScript, Front-End Development, Back-End Development, Full-Stack Development, etc.. I hold a degree in Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc). Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: formie, Acknowledge, QRlab, entryPass. I am based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I've successfully completed 4 projects while developing at Softaims.

I am a business-driven professional; my technical decisions are consistently guided by the principle of maximizing business value and achieving measurable ROI for the client. I view technical expertise as a tool for creating competitive advantages and solving commercial problems, not just as a technical exercise.

I actively participate in defining key performance indicators (KPIs) and ensuring that the features I build directly contribute to improving those metrics. My commitment to Softaims is to deliver solutions that are not only technically excellent but also strategically impactful.

I maintain a strong focus on the end-goal: delivering a product that solves a genuine market need. I am committed to a development cycle that is fast, focused, and aligned with the ultimate success of the client's business.

Experience Highlights

formie

formie is an open source project I developed to address a common challenge faced by many: efficiently managing form data on websites. formie was designed to simplify the process of capturing data through forms. It's built on the straightforward concept of using HTML form actions, making it easy to implement and use. With just a single line of code, formie acts as a form backend, API, dashboard, and email notification service. Some of the technologies used: - Next.js 14 (with App router) - PostgresQL - TailwindCSS - Drizzle ORM - Auth.js (Next Auth) - Redis - Cloudflare Workers w/ Vercel

Acknowledge

Leading a team can be a challenging feat. Leaders have the responsibility of keeping team spirits and morale high, while ensuring that productivity remains optimal. During a recent sprint, I wanted to add a gamification aspect to completing tasks to incentivise healthy competition amongst team members. This led me to create and build Acknowledge. The concept was simple - for every task created, admins are able to assign points that are rewarded upon completion. At the end of a sprint or a time period, leaders can reward the top scorers with perks or bonuses. I recently had my team switch over to Linear for issue tracking and project management. Linear being one of the newer platforms out there, doesn't have the most mature API for building external apps/plugins or integrations - with certain parts of their API still in alpha. For comparison's sake, in Jira you're able to build and integrate a frontend that can be rendered within Jira itself. In Linear that is not possible. To work around these limitations, I used the Attachments functionality in Linear to display a button in Linear that displays how many points an issue is worth. An external dashboard was built for admins to view and manage rewards. Having points is an easy way to measure productivity amongst team members through a currency that's easy to understand. This allows for managers to perform quick and simple performance audits on team members on the go. I also built in the functionality to be able to "acknowledge" a team mate, allowing team members to give points to one another. I added this in hopes to foster a culture that encourages teamwork and genuine team relationships. While I have only built Acknowledge to the point of fitting my use-case, there are many ways that Acknowledge can be improved upon and extended. I have decided to make Acknowledge open source and available for everyone to use, as there are no other alternatives available for Linear at the time of writing this post.

QRlab

QRlab was founded to enable entities to provide reliable and secure digital certification. It provides a way for you to distribute your documents such that the data contained within the document can be easily and independently verified. The platform was designed to be as minimally intrusive as possible, boiling down to 2 steps: - Upload your document - Download a QR code watermarked version of your document The downloaded document will contain a QR code that when scanned, will lead to a QRlab page that contains your document with integrity checks. Because QRlab documents are stored on the blockchain, these documents are publicly verifiable. This does not mean the documents are public per se, it only means that the hashes attached to your document are available on the blockchain for independent verification. QRlab leverages off a document endorsement and verification framework by the name of OpenAttestation. OpenAttestation is an open-sourced framework to endorse and verify documents using the blockchain. Documents issued this way are cryptographically trustworthy and can be verified independently. OpenAttestation leverages off Ethereum Smart Contracts to ensure document integrity, issuance status and issuance identity, all while being aligned to the W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model for interoperability. Today, QRlab proudly services a number of medical laboratories in providing secure and verifiable health certificates, having processed millions of documents since its inception.

entryPass

entryPass was a solution that was built to facilitate border entry & health data collection for inbound travellers into a country. The challenges presented were: - Due to the novelty of Covid-19, data collection requirements were often changing. System administrators needed the flexibility to update the frontend application without complexity, without compromising data structure. - Health certificates uploaded by the registrant had to be verified automatically and accurately. - Travellers needed a way to showcase their approved application, with or without internet, securely & quickly. And thus, entryPass was born. Solving the issue of fluid data requirements: In recent times with most modern databases, we can build systems that still leverage off the benefits of a traditional relational database but amalgamating NoSQL only for the areas of our application that need it. This allowed for the implementation of a dynamic form builder, of which fields that users need to fill in on the user facing site can be updated whenever necessary. Additionally, whenever the form has an update, the backend saves a the new revision on top of all the previous ones so that with some careful implementation we can get full backward-compatibility. Problem solved! Verification of Health Certificates: In a time where containing Covid-19 was a priority for almost every country, there was no room for fraud in health certification. However, how can you safely verify information when a global standard didn't exist? Many countries enforced their own standards, and some had none at all. After much research and deliberation, a decision was made to utilise a document endorsement and verification framework by the name of OpenAttestation. OpenAttestation is an open-sourced framework to endorse and verify documents using the blockchain. Documents issued this way are cryptographically trustworthy and can be verified independently. OpenAttestation leverages off Ethereum Smart Contracts to ensure document integrity, issuance status and issuance identity, all while being aligned to the W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model for interoperability. Coupled with a service like Notarise (of which implements OpenAttestation to endorse documents, after verifying its legitimacy), authorities can now be assured that submitted documents are authentic. This also allows for automatic verification on the user facing site! Traveller health passports: Travellers needed a way to showcase their approved applications at the point of entry of the country in a swift manner, without compromising the authorities ability to ensure genuinity - all while remaining offline. Luckily, OpenAttestation also covers this use-case! By storing all of the data we need in an OpenAttestation document embedded into a QR code, we can decrypt & verify this information without the need for internet. Happy traveller, happy authorities, everyone remains safe and wins. While entryPass (and its iterations) were actively deployed in production, it processed millions of applications between the Johor & Singaporean border. I am glad that it managed to solve a complex problem effectively, as it enabled the border to remain open, allowing for jobs to continue existing & families to reunite during a time when international travel was almost non-existent. entryPass was sunset in April 2022 after the Malaysian & Singaporean governments revised their policies to no longer require health certification for cross-border travel.
