• I was responsible for building key components of their web services end-to-end.
• Some of my accomplishments are:
• I've built a job distribution framework, to distribute tasks among multiple jobs. Used redis as a backend for the framework, such that if it crashes, it will resume correctly from where it left.Which enables us to update user's profile data in near-realtime, with little or no additional request latency at server side.
• Revamped entire flow and architecture of the app login, added provision to connect to third party authentication provider like facebook, and google. This improved sign up rate on the app by 30% at least.
