Worked with the advertisement Inventory Forecasting Team which simulates user traffic across demographics and webpages while accounting for competition between existing bookings so external ad managers can orchestrate more effective campaigns
Profiled and determined production-viability of new contention simulator (accounts for conflicts between proposed and booked ad campaigns for supply prediction) using JProfiler. Was responsible for migration to a consolidated Lucene index and implemented optimizations to further decrease latency by 3x
Deployed contention simulator to a distributed environment, linked with a shared cache, and automated dynamic index download to set up for extensive production-like testing
Helped position team to implement previously unattainable capabilities, including real-time forecasting
