Frankly.me

Software Developer

Nov 2014Nov 2015 · 1 yr · Greater Delhi Area

  • Frankly.me team was a spinoff from my previous InoxApps team.
  • As one of the first engineers at Frankly.me I built the backend platform for a mobile first video sharing app.
  • Build horizontally scalable fault tolerant platform on AWS
  • Mobile notification platform for user engagement supporting notifications to Android/iOS/Web
  • Async video conversion platform using FFMPEG/Celery/SQS/Redis, designed to be horizontally scalable
  • Built the user feed for HOT, TRENDING and FRESH content using MySQL and Elastic Search. Tried different approaches for user feed, (Fan in, Fan out) to reach the most optimum system in terms of efficiency and user experience.
  • Implemented search and content categorisation. Learned a lot methods required when the content is user generated. The major challenge was that it being a video platform, it had very little text to help in categorisation and search.
  • Continuously kept track of response times and errors to make our apps give a faster better user experience
