Work Experience
Software Engineer
Tatango, Inc.
- Scaled up the back-end infrastructure of one of the biggest messaging platforms in the US, leveraging AWS Lambda and CDK.
- Gradually moved parts of the legacy monolith to a serverless architecture, keeping the best of both worlds.
- Implemented various core back-end serverless microservices (Node.js).
Software Engineer
United Technologies Advanced Projects
- Designed/architected an AWS cloud.
- Developed multiple Python 3 servers.
- Designed and implemented the back end and front end for a Django/JavaScript-based mobile-friendly web app with REST APIs and real-time websocket messaging.
Software Engineer
Publishing Push
- Designed and implemented a complex user-facing web app with AngularJS and Django REST Framework.
- Set up cloud infrastructure and handled deployments and maintenance.
Software Engineer
Thomson Reuters
- Created a bleeding-edge web application with Gantt chart in Angular for worldwide operational management across time zones.
- Helped create a Node.js framework to collect and aggregate data from many different legacy platforms.
Software Engineer
Mind Candy
- Built a Node.js video game back end for thousands of real-time players over websockets.
- Helped scale Node.js infrastructure to tens of thousands of concurrent websocket connections.
Software Egineer
Beamly
- Wore many hats as an early addition to the company, building the AWS cloud infrastructure.
- Created an asynchronous scalable chat server for browsers, Android, and iOS. Tested with tens of thousands concurrent users. Built with Node.js, Socket.IO, and Redis.
- Utilized a bit of natural language processing in the form of a Scala server that gets a stream of subtitles from all TV channels and generates relevant tags in real time. The tag Disambiguator is a naïve Bayesian classifier that uses the DBpedia links/abstracts database.
- Developed a monitoring/alert system mostly written in Python. It feeds data to a graphing server (Graphite) and monitors failures given service metrics constraints.
- Worked on the HTML5/CSS3 single-page web app (Backbone JS framework).
