Global Customs & Trade Team

Embedded in Nike's global Import & Export team, working on large-scale customs and trade applications that handle worldwide product flows. Automating customs documentation and applying country-specific duty discounts for goods moving in and out of Nike's global network.

  • Containerized services on EKS kept heavier workloads scalable and manageable across environments.
  • Python used to process and transform trade data feeding into the customs pipeline.
  • Worked across the full stack — from backend services to the frontends used by Nike's internal customs operations teams globally.

  • Spring Boot powered the core APIs, with Angular and Ionic covering web and mobile frontends.
  • Nurse-facing job application flows were built with usability and responsiveness in mind across devices.
  • Python modules handling specific business logic were containerized and rolled out on GCP via Kubernetes.
