At brizztv i got a chance to work on lot of cool stuff, i will just go ahead and pitch some of the prominent things i did : • I have worked on the award wining product “Twitter On Tv” backend( http://www.brizztv.com/products.html#tweetad). I was responsible for developing the automated content curation and content management system that can be used on the TV broadcast scenario and consumed by the TV audience. Challenge here was in understanding data transmission to TV over satellite and at the same time maintaining relevance of tweet with the program currently on that specific TV channel. This product is live with Airtel -one of the leading satellite television service providers in India. • I have worked on a twitter news app called peoplefied (www.peoplefied.com) here we rank twitter users based on their social network credibility and also categorize tweets based on trending global events so that users don't miss important tweets from people they care. The backend was developed using Elasticsearch(to store tweets) , PHP(interface between ES and twitter streaming API) and nodejs(to build scalable REST services). App frontend is built using javascirpt MVC which consumes REST apis from Nodejs. Also built a phonegap app across android, IOS and Windows for the same. • I have shared my learning with Elasticsearch in my blog that cover topics like ES index rotation, use of ES for storing tweets. • I have worked as a part of development team that built App Store for Airtel set of box.
