I'm a software engineer with 7 years of experience in the application services industry building highly scalable back-end platforms to support web services. Specialties: C++, Java, J2EE, Storm, Redis, Hadoop, XML Technologies, Web Technologies, Oracle, MySQL, PhP.

Principal Software Engineer @ From October 2014 to Present (1 year 3 months) Senior Software Engineer @ I work for the Yahoo! Video backend team focussing on metadata search, personalization, recommendation and analytics. From August 2013 to Present (2 years 5 months) Software Developer - Y! Content Agility @ I work on Y! Content Agility in building a distributed high performing storage system that stores data from various Y! properties. The modules use C++, Java, MySQL and in-house store-and-forward mechanisms to store data from different backend stores. It also employs different algorithms to partition data, route them to different clusters distributed geographically and assemble them back to provide a unified semantic representation of the object. The components deployed are very scalable to serve both low latency as well as bulk ingest traffic and are also fault-tolerant. From June 2011 to Present (4 years 7 months) Software Developer - Y! Business Listings @ I work on building a scalable platform for Yahoo! Business Listings that powers http://local.yahoo.com for US, Europe and Asia. The platform is built to consolidate all listings data and code base onto one single extensible, robust platform developed on top of a hadoop cluster. I used Java along with hibernate (to manage Java POJOs for a MySql Database), Jersey (to build a REST-ful web service running on tomcat / apache), Spring MVC framework and Quartz for job scheduling using annotations. The platform is focused on extracting data from hadoop cluster and storing it on a search index. From May 2010 to May 2011 (1 year 1 month) Software Developer - Y! Video Platform @ I work for the Yahoo! Video Platform team managing video metadata across different yahoo properties. I've been involved in the below mentioned projects. 1. Worked on hadoop/pig technologies and built a prototype using Java/scripts to store video metadata on hadoop clusters. 2. Worked on building a scalable video metadata store using C++, MySQL and REST technologies. 3. Developed a caching mechanism that would front-end web services to handle high traffic. 4. Developed a performance testing tool using httperf to simulate high load on backend servers, analyze the results and provide recommendations.
