- Extended and maintained CI/CD pipelines for various app types in Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and Jenkins.
- Built custom CLI tool using Fire (Python) & CI/CD pipeline used for matching firmware deployments to various environments existing on real hardware.
- Developed a video conferencing application using Django Rest Framework (Python) and NextJS (React).
StreamKick Sep 2017 - Sep 2020
- Handled migration of existing Ruby on Rails codebase to Django.
- Developed authentication system including OAuth with various providers, middlewares to handle authentication states, & presentation of authentication forms.
- Built & maintained automation pipelines for various responsibilities such as micro-service releases, tooling distribution, & automated testing.
- Designed & continuously improved upon multi-faceted algorithms used for matching live-streams to viewers across a plethora of data points.
- Assumed database administration responsibilities including schema design for Postgres & SQL Server databases hosted on Amazon Web Services (RDS).
- Implemented Prometheus for resource & app usage metrics presented by Grafana dashboards to aid in scaling appropriately for business needs.
A live-stream curation platform that enables viewers to discover & categorize streams based on language, framework, and/or technology tags across Twitch, YouTube, Kick, & Beam.
- Built a series of services tasked with automated stream collection for app consumption & machine-learning model training.
- Implemented OAuth for Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Microsoft, & Google.
- Built a series of services for automatically tagging live-streams at ingress leveraging machine-learning/AI for gradually increasing accuracy & limited manual intervention.
- Built backend dashboard for handling content moderation as well as manual intervention of automated tagging.
- Used OCR (Optical Character Recognition) with TensorFlow models to identify programming languages & frameworks from video thumbnails containing code in view.
- Refactored the frontend codebase from VueJS to NextJS to take advantage of server-side rendering features.
- Implemented GraphQL alongside existing REST API to address over-fetching on creators’ profiles.
- Built out a robust performance & usage telemetry system to handle reactive scaling as well as respond to incidents & usage influx.
- Built a series of pipelines for CI/CD, automated testing, data aggregation, etc.
