While at GreatHorn, I helped contribute to many main features, stabilization efforts, performance improvements and cost reduction. During my tenure, I was able to help increase the performance of the system 200X from 200 messages per second to 40,000 messages per second. I contributed directly to these goals in the following ways:
* Identified bottlenecks in analysis performance and implemented new systems to replace
* Found main slowdown in daily analysis and replace system with a pre-accumulation system resulting in the complete reduction of slowdowns when migrated
* Replaced email scanning schedule system that decrease times between scans by 3X+ and reliability by 9X
* Implemented caching layers where services took too long
* Replaced legacy scanning system
* Helped replace legacy trend analysis platform
* Found architectural inefficiency causing slow dashboard performance
* Moved from SOLR to Elastic-Search
Additionally, I help decrease the burn rate of the product by aiding in the cost reduction effort decreasing the cost of the system nearly in half. I contributed directly to this effort in the following areas:
* Reduced storage space of system in half while preserving the content
* Identified cost points that could be reduced
In addition to overall product improvements, I was responsible for designing, architecting, implementing, overseeing and planning these features:
* Pre-Analysis
* Link Protection
* KnowBe4/Cofense Integration
* Next Gen API Design
* Advanced Threat Detection Model
Outside of direct product contributions, I also contributed in the following ways:
* Code review most changes released to production
* Subject Matter Expert in many core features and components
* Technical documentation of the product including Principal of Operations used to onboard new hires
* Mentorship of team members
* Customer Issues including calls with customers
* Lead team of fellow engineers
