Acquired by Lockerz, Inc. - May 2012• Building the website, API, and unreleased iPhone app• Responsible for site performance, maintenance, and uptime• Ongoing effort to reduce the cost associated with running the service• UI and UX design and implementation• Iterating on a growing product with a bootstrap budgetI developed a method of decreasing database writes (in our already high-write environment) by caching calculated values of Ratings to the Style record itself. Because this value would often be updated more than a hundred times / minute / Style, the current value was cached in Memcache and only rewritten if the Style's rating was updated and no more than once every 5 minutes. This led to an immediate 40% load decrease and substantial savings on server fees.
