I am on the data pipelines team that provides the framework for users to run ETL workloads on our platform
I developed the technical design, planned the delivery schedule, managed meetings across different teams, and communicated progress with senior level directors while coding the majority of the project. I also architected the system to be extensible that will serve as a core component of the platform that other features will build upon. To accomplish this, I wrote the service level code in typescript while also leveraging AWS cloudformation templates to serve as infrastructure as code
I built a new way to reprocess files that could scale efficiently and work with other parts of our platform. I leveraged elastic search as our source of truth which made it consistent with our core search experience. This unified the UX experience with other types of bulk processing jobs in our system and also unlocked over 100x improvement in allowing customers to perform batch reprocessing jobs.
I solved major issues when trying to run and monitor multiple data pipelines concurrently. I achieved this by constructing a new scheduler that implemented a novel fairness algorithm that I designed. I also fixed a multi-tenant issue where noisy neighbors had prevented customers from receiving the throughput they expected. In addition, I changed the backend logic for APIs that had previously caused our database to crash due to expensive joins and poor data models.
I developed a solution to prevent multiple data pipelines from creating infinite loops that would crash our platform. I had to understand the end to end architecture of how files moved in our system and how we could add metadata to protect our system. Overall, this has saved the platform tens of thousands of times from crashing
