Promote (Acquisio)

I previously worked on the Promote team at Acquisio as a full-stack software developer. Promote was an AI-powered tool built on Rails that made it easy for small business owners to increase their calls through online ad exposure.

My role involved touching all parts of the stack, adding new features, working with APIs like Twilio and Google Maps, working on the UI and upgrading the application from Rails 4 to 5. We practiced TDD and maintained 100% test coverage.

The last big project I worked on there was building a microservice with a REST API that Promote used for managing its businesses' phone numbers on Twilio. This involved implementing proper REST conventions, designing resilient webhooks and background jobs, and documenting the API with Swagger while ensuring 100% coverage with Rspec.
