Experience
Voucher Generation System
Sony Playstation has to generate millions of vouchers. The legacy system would bring the central database down during this process, so an off-peak time would have to found to request voucher creation. Sony has users across the world, so there is really no off-peak time and voucher creation was a problem.
I built a reactive framework with Akka Streams to generate Vouchers and such other long-running jobs. A reactive application uses back pressure to send requests to the system based on the database response time. The newly redesigned system improved the performance of Voucher generation and can create 10 million or more vouchers per job without bringing the oracle system down.

Auth0 Integration
Integrated sensementrics platform with Auth0 for OAuth based authentication. I created scripts to automate Auth0 set up across environments as part of continuance integration and migrated users from the sensemetrics platform.
Data Bridge Application
At sensemetrics, sensor data was collected from sensors and third-party applications as well. I built a Spring boot based application that runs on the clients' systems, collects the information in different formats, and sends the information to the data analytics platform
