Founded an on-demand image processing service to solve the complexity of image compositing and optimization for device resolution, design flexibility, content quality, and low-latency delivery.
Hired and managed engineering team.
Architect for distributed image processing and storage system.
• Implemented a distributed stream-oriented storage system for immutable data with an ACID transactional B+tree index for logical key and global id access. The global identity scheme was designed with the ability to replay the stream for arbitrary replication tasks.
• Designed work scheduling server using a consistent hash-based bin packing algorithm with a streaming protocol to accommodate multi-frame content.
• Designed origin image collection system with protocol negotiation, timeout management, and cache consistency.
Data center buildout.
• Negotiated service providers
• Worked with vendors for Linux server purchasing and hardware testing
• Customized racking solution for Mac Pros
