Software engineer

AyashTwayana

I build and run the systems behind an e-commerce business — a headless storefront, a pricing pipeline that reads tens of thousands of pages a day, and the services in between. Most of it is performance work: making something that already exists hold up under real load.

Work

Software Engineer, ProMusicTools

2019 — now

Musical-instrument retail, B2C and B2B. I plan, build and maintain the internal and customer-facing systems. Started as a working student, full-time since 2023.

  • storefront

    Migrated a Magento 1 monolith to a headless Magento 2 architecture on GraphCommerce and shipped it in February 2024 — data and module porting, interface design, testing, rollout.

  • platform

    Tune and scale the managed cluster behind it: Apache, PHP-FPM, MySQL, Redis and OpenSearch. Monitoring and incident response when it misbehaves.

  • pricing

    Designed and built the company-wide price monitoring system — a Laravel backend with Python scrapers covering more than 40,000 pages a day, a Vue 3 interface for configuration and reporting, and automated repricing pipelines that write back into Magento over REST. Runs on GCP and DigitalOcean.

  • services

    Smaller Go services around the edges: real-time search suggestions on RediSearch, and a translation API built as a proof of concept.
