Successfully lead multiple different projects of varying complexity.
Reduced logging of our application from ~1Tb per day to 90Gb per day. Saving us $1000's a month in AWS and monitoring costs.
Implemented Elasticsearch for full text search across millions of documents with sub 100ms response times. Ingestion is also "real time". Prior search experiences was taking on average 3seconds.
Optimized many PostgreSQL queries, by improving indexing, analyzing index usage, as well as query structure. An example of this is a query that was taking a minute to run on production was reduced to sub 1s by my efforts.
Go to person for query optimization and endpoint performance optimization.
Implemented the most requested feature for Scribe, which is the changing of the click target color.
Implemented feature flagging using an external vendor. This made deployment of new code substantially less risky and unlocked the ability to do A/B testing organization wide.
