Employment
Experience
- Apollo Azure to GCP Migration
I independently migrated all services and resources from Microsoft Azure to Google Cloud Platform. This involved multi-terabyte databases and web applications; in addition, it was completed in two weeks with less than ten minutes of downtime.
- Web Crawlers
I rewrote the code to reduce complexity as well as increase efficiency. Next, I rearchitected the deployment to further increase throughput. At the end of the day, the crawlers were crawling over 20 million websites a day on a very low budget for servers.
- CRM Enrichment
I created a CRM enrichment product that pushes the company's data that was collected from my web crawlers and other sources to various CRMs. I initially integrated with Salesforce and redesigned the code to quickly expanded to HubSpot and Marketo.
