• During my time at Times Internet as a Technical Architect in the Center of Excellence, I contributed to several high-impact projects centered around system optimization and architecture design for large-scale platforms. One of the main projects I worked on was optimizing the Colombia Ad-Serving Platform, which managed over 400 million requests per day. I led efforts to enhance scalability and precision targeting, ultimately reducing response times to under 50 milliseconds. This improvement ensured the platform’s infrastructure could support future growth and innovation in digital advertising.
• In addition to my work on the ad-serving platform, I spearheaded the Gaana Music Search Optimization project. Gaana, one of India’s largest music streaming platforms, required significant backend improvements to enhance user experience. I implemented ElasticSearch for advanced search functionalities and Aerospike caching to boost performance. These enhancements ensured quicker and more efficient search results for users. Additionally, I bolstered the platform’s backend infrastructure with MySQL and Cassandra, enabling it to handle increasing data volumes and user activity effectively.
