My team's responsibilities included monitoring industry trends, performance engineering, evaluation of products, consultation on company strategy, application design, and development of proof-of-concept applications. Projects included CMS evaluations, mobile strategy, development of a node.js app for real-time analytics, and research into cross-platform mobile application programming in javascript. Some of the technologies evaluated included OpenStack, Hadoop, Hive, Nesper, MongoDB, node.js, KVM, Xen, Hyper-V, and Cassandra.
