Jim Kelly

Software Engineer

Deloitte•  March 2021 - Present

In my role, I was responsible for the comprehensive transformation of the Illuminate supply-chain analytics web application. This involved designing, developing, and integrating REST APIs and unary gRPC stream microservices within a reference architecture, facilitating the shift from a monolithic structure to an event-driven architecture for efficient data-mart operations. To enhance the relevance testing of supplier relationships based on company firmographic data, I implemented the Aho-Corasick algorithm alongside hierarchical scheduling, resulting in a notable 60% reduction in relevancy testing execution time. Additionally, I played a key role in the development and integration of data pipelines for GenAI tooling, enabling the ingestion and vectorization of articles and the embedding of related questions. This facilitated the creation of a time-series supplier risk analysis and the implementation of GenAI chatbot functionality. Furthermore, I took charge of building and maintaining robust build and release pipelines using Ansible via Azure, ensuring a streamlined application life cycle. On the front-end, I undertook a redesign of several components and implemented localization via NextJS i18n and routing, allowing the Illuminate application to seamlessly support multiple languages. The technologies utilized in these endeavors encompassed TypeScript, Go, Python, gRPC, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Docker, Databricks, Ansible, Azure, NextJS, NestJS, Mapbox, D3.js, Weaviate, OpenAI, and Langchain.
