Leveraged S3, DuckDB, S3Proxy, and optimized compression methods to transform a live cluster with 200+ million events into a compacted 8.4 GB, achieving a 24x cost reduction per GB compared to managed PostgreSQL storage service while maintaining service provider agnosticism the use of Azure Blob Storage in addition to S3. DuckDB is used for querying from data sources like S3 using normal SQL statements. On the Platform Team, I worked on separating our monolithic applications into microservices run in a Kubernetes Cluster. This enables the application to scale individual components independently when they are under load. Implemented Kubernetes observability enabling production cluster insights via Kubernetes Metrics such as Pod and Node CPU + Memory utilization enabling insights issues without having to access the production Kubernetes cluster. ### Full Stack Engineering Intern @ Illumio Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Sunnyvale, California, United States Worked as a full-stack engineering intern with a primary focus on developing a user dashboard aimed at empowering network administrators to visualize network traffic and proactively address network anomalies. This multifaceted role encompassed various responsibilities: Front-end: Development using React, charting libraries, and breakpoints, ensuring an intuitive and visually appealing user interface for widgets on the dashboard. Backend: Using Ruby on Rails, I enhanced system's functionality and performance by building out an optimized data pipeline to handle data processing. Database: Gained extensive experience in PostgreSQL, harnessing its capabilities to efficiently store and manage data. Big Data Processing: Leveraging advanced algorithms and sketches like distinct counting and most frequent, to compute statistics vital for network analysis. The culmination of this project is a user-facing dashboard consisting of interactive widgets with charts that empower network administrators with near-real-time insights into network traffic as well as a streamlined data pipeline to efficiently compute statistics. The success of this endeavor positions it for a seamless transition to production after undergoing quality assurance testing. ### Zuki + Perfecto Project - Android Developer @ Stanford HCI Group Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Stanford, California, United States Worked alongside a research team headed by Professor James Landay to build a fitness tracker that leverages compelling narratives and artwork to encourage positive behavior.

With the aim of having ordinarily people contribute, we hope to use this project to both hold greenhouse gas emitters accountable while also creating awareness about the impacts of methane. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Eden Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area At Eden, I work with a React, GraphQL, Apollo, and Ruby on Rails stack to create new features and user-friendly products to engage large corporations to use our rapidly expanding office management platform. 2022: ● Built out reusable in-house rich text component which adds new features to the company’s arsenal such as support for @-mention, differing notification streams, emoji + color picker, and email notifications and applied this feature to the company’s chat and ticketing products to enhance chat and ticketing capabilities ● Shipped @-mention feature which was the #1 requested feature from customer feedback which aided in the monthly metrics of 10% decrease in churn rate and 2% increase in user acquisition 2021: ● Worked with the product and design stakeholders independently to ship multiple new product features such as room scheduling ● Planned product workflows using Agile software development practices ● Worked on a new delivery product aimed at streamlining deliveries to businesses 2020: ● Built or expanded products such as reporting analytics, ticketing, visitor management with printable badge feature, and work orders ● Worked on new COVID-tracing, room booking, desk booking, and team safety technology at the height of the pandemic 2019: ● Worked with CTO to identify he had trouble finding time to create cron jobs for admins to get recurring company reports ● Created a new automated workflow utilizing Cron jobs, Amazon S3 buckets, and recurring cadences for admins to request company reports and offload the task of manually updating cron jobs previously done by the CTO Eden is the leading platform for office management, with a mission to create a better place to work, for everyone. Eden is backed by the best investors in Silicon Valley, including Y Combinator, S28, Fifth Wall, SV Angel, Bessemer Venture Partners, Canvas Ventures, Index Ventures, Comcast Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, ENIAC, Maven Ventures, Slow Ventures, and Social Starts. ### Student Mentee @ Minds Matter Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | San Francisco Bay Area Minds Matter of San Francisco is a chapter of the national Minds Matter organization. Since its founding in New York City in 1991, the effectiveness of Minds Matter has been affirmed – 100% of its students have been accepted into a four-year college. The organization has expanded to twelve cities nationwide, including Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, the Twin Cities and Washington D.C. Our students participate in a rich set of programs including young professional mentorship, academic planning programs, MMSF-supported summer college programs for high school students and SAT & ACT instruction. ### Student @ BlueStamp Engineering Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area At Bluestamp I was able to document and create my own Amazon Alexa project using a Raspberry Pi 3 b+ During this opportunity I was able to learn how to use the command prompt and the terminal proficiently. I was also able to create and modify my own amplifier circuit that allows the Amazon Alexa project to play music from phones via Bluetooth and also allow direct access to volume controls for the project. Skills I have learned while at Bluestamp: Soldering, Creating Circuits, Problem Solving, and AWS Lamda At BlueStamp we understand the reason for lectures, exams, and tests. However, while we recognize that students must be evaluated in this manner, it is not always as enjoyable and does not always answer the question of “Why am I learning this”? The personal motivation in creating BlueStamp was to offer a real world experience in technology. Throughout our careers, we have found that customers want something very simple: high value products that work. BlueStamp replicates this aspect of the global marketplace to give students the most relevant and useful education possible. The BlueStamp team looks forward to working with students every summer as they develop passions in a challenging and exciting atmosphere! ## Education ### Master of Science - MS in Computer Science Stanford University ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Stanford University ### Lowell High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jason-mei-617575176 - Portfolio: https://bit.ly/jason_mei_foodzone_project --- Source: https://flows.cv/jasonmei JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/jasonmei/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-31
