Domino allows data scientists to collaborate, develop, and deploy their work. The application is written in Scala, with support code in Python and Go. The product installs into a Kubernetes cluster on multiple clouds and on premise.As an early engineer I led the formation of multiple teams, onboarded new cohorts of engineers at all levels.Next Gen Architecture: Worked with a small team to design an event-based micro services architecture to improve scalability and team independence. Developed strategy for incrementally strangling the monolith to provide value at each step. Created a reference implementation to aid development teams in best practices and design approach, including implementations of multiple cross cutting services.Volume Manager: Wrote a Kubernetes volume manager that maintains a cache of pre-staged volumes for faster startup times with configurable retention policy.Log Jam: Rearchitected system that allows users to view their workload logs in realtime using Fluentd, Redis, and S3, replacing a solution that caused daily escalations.Message-Based Executor: Redesigned the executor to use messaging rather than polling, which was the top source of web requests in the system. This reduced CPU utilization by two orders of magnitude.Model Manager: Created model hosting product using Kubernetes. Created a saga framework to orchestrate workflows.Restartable Workspaces: Added ability to pause and resume Workspaces resulting in faster startup time.Training Sets: Added feature that allows users to store Pandas Dataframes and associated metadata with a Python client. Improved pattern for creating endpoints using OpenAPI 3, now being adopted across the product.Datasets: Added ability to work with large filesets using shared mountpoints.Git Integration: Added Git UI and workflows to Workspaces.Load Testing: Created deployment seeding and load testing tools.Play Upgrade: Upgraded Play from 2.4 to 2.6. Unblocked use of several libraries and frameworks.
