Hi, I'm

Marika Bergman

Full-stack web developer

Hello!

I'm Marika, a dedicated full-stack developer with a passion for backend development. I enjoy using my skills to build the logic and functionality behind web and mobile applications. Troubleshooting backend issues and crafting elegant solutions is what drives me. I'm also highly interested in cloud engineering and have solidified my practical experience with my three AWS certifications.

Please see below some of the things I have built and my resume.

Projects

Charity Website with Contact Form

A web app created with React and Mantine UI. The app features a user-friendly contact form, allowing users to submit information that is seamlessly forwarded to the admin via email. The frontend is deployed on AWS using CloudFront and S3 for efficient content delivery and hosting. The backend utilizes a serverless architecture with AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda and Amazon Simple Email Service.

Frontend: React, Mantine UI
Backend: Serverless backend with AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon Simple Email Service
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform

Hackathon Project: Tazkeer

Our team of four united in a hackathon endeavour, crafting a full-stack application based on our initial Figma design. With another developer, I co-built the NodeJS backend with a MongoDB database, tapping into an open API for data. As part of our backend development, I created a dynamic system that customizes a daily revision schedule for users. This scheduler prioritizes items the user marks as 'weak' while factoring in unrevised items and timestamps to optimize their revision strategy.

Frontend: React
Backend: NodeJS
Database: MongoDB

Frontend: ReactJS
Backend: Flask (Python)
AWS:ECS Fargate, ECR, Cognito, RDS Postgres, DynamoDB, Route 53, Elastic Load Balancer, X-Ray, API Gateway, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CloudFormation, CDK (Cloud Development Kit), SAM (Serverless Application Model).
Third-party tools: Honeycomb (observability), Rollbar (monitoring)

Hackathon Project: Wildife Companion

During this Hackathon I collaborated with a UI designer, front-end developer and another developer who also implemented hardware design. Our teamwork spanned various time zones, with each member contributing asynchronously. My role encompassed creating a serverless AWS backend, which facilitated the flow of simulated data to our prototype application and which would be used to connect to the hardware in a potential production environment. I undertook the task of devising a scalable architecture and created architectural diagrams. Furthermore, I took charge of documentation and supported in integrating API calls with the frontend application.

Frontend: React
Backend: AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda

Terraform Beginner Bootcamp

This bootcamp project utilized Terraform to provision AWS resources and Go code to create a Terraform custom provider. The journal in the GitHub repository contains a detailed description of the weekly progress.

Terraform custom provider: Provider written in Go code and a Sinatra mock server
'Terrahouse' resources: These resources are created at 'Terratowns cloud' using the custom provider.
AWS resources: The AWS module contains two nested modules, one for creating a CloudFront distribution and invalidation and another for creating an S3 bucket.
