My main area of focus at Seatgeek was performance testing and making improvements to applications to make sure they could handle high traffic events such as artists like Taylor Swift going on sale. I was also responsible for developing integrations to support new partners such as Major League Baseball and finally making the ticket selling experience for bulk ticket sellers easier• Integrated with Major League Baseball’s ticketing platform allowing Seatgeek to become the official secondary marketplace for the MLB unlocking millions of dollars in potential revenue • Led a project that reduced api response times by 90% and enabled the ability to show a map of the venue and available seats during high traffic events. Due to performance constraints this wasn’t possible before• Point person for the virtual waiting room infrastructure which was mission critical for every sale at Seatgeek including high traffic events such as Taylor Swift going on sale• Reduced redis memory usage and network utilization by 80% by adding compression and switching serialization formats • Successfully added cache stampede mitigation techniques • Responsible for benchmarking applications and scheduling work to improve performance and resilience
