• Webstore : This is a platform which is designed to let third party merchants to setup their e-commerce website. The platform contains different applications to handle each usecase. My role was to develop applications. Challenge here is that the application should be generic and should allow merchat customizations.
• Enterprise Websites : This is a sub-team which handles necessary services and platforms for very big merchants. Requirements of big merchants need new services and my role was to design and develop services. One example service was to integrate the product reviews with third party product reviews.
• Assisted Ordering Application : This is another platform to let Webstore merchants to setup their InStore and Phone order sites. This was existing platform but after Webstore development the AOA(Assited Ordering Application) needed re-design.

• I joined Yahoo as a fresher and after three months I was awarded with "Quick Learner of Yahoo Technologies". Later I have worked on two of the major projects of my team.
• 1. Continuous Integration : This was my first project in the career whose main idea is to integrate, code and test the new code without any manual interventions. First I started with coming out with my own design and implemented the idea. After completing the project, I have used some already available CI tools(like hudson) and integrated my code in it to provide better UI features to the build viewers. This reduced the effort of the developers to test their functionality after checking in the code. The only known issue was if the developer checks in a part of his code. This gave me good experience of working and learning Yahoo and third party technologies related to CI.
• 2. Social Networking : This was one of the huge projects in my team when I joined. I have developed CI for the same project and later I have moved to development of features of the project. I have designed and developed the messaging system for the project. Some of the key challenges were improving the performance when the messaging happens in different geo locations, recovery when a key component fails and recovery of the data in failure conditions. I have also worked on the autocomplete feature for the schools(developed backend code). This mainly involved developing a dictionary and using it for producing autocomplete search results.
