Back-end development and support of multiple platforms used across the Marketing Technology organization.- Architected and implemented a cloud-based platform that stores, translates and serves localized text for various Nike applications and web pages. Currently used by over 100 teams holding 60K+ text phrases translated into 30+ languages- Along with two other developers, wrote or collaborated on more than 17 EC2 micro-services comprising the two platforms, handling average traffic of 2 requests/sec with downtime under a few minutes/year, using parallel event-processing.- Added the capability of personalizing content for targeted consumers via an experimentation SaaS. Work so far has increased revenue 10’s of $M- Identified a cause of slow data downloads and refactored the responsible micro-services to affect a 5x improvement in speed- Planned and executed an initiative to migrate one platform to a new AWS account without any downtime. The platform is comprised of 5 interconnected micro-services communicating via HTTP and SNS messaging and includes over a dozen data repos.- Profiled various micro-service API’s using Gatling to find bottle-necks and then publish SLA’s to integrators- Created several observability dashboards for management metrics and alerts for monitoring platform health- Implemented ElasticSearch functionality to support user-requested, filtered fuzzy searches- Wrote numerous support scripts in Python to accomplish data management tasks to satisfy one-off user requests- Collaborated with squads across the organization on shared-library fixes- Emphasized maintainable and extendible code which resulted in a smooth handoff of the responsibility for one of the platforms to a European team (EHQ) and another to an Indian team (ITC)- Working within the Scrum/Agile and CI/CD development processes, consistently hit Sprint commitments, swarmed with other developers to help them hit theirs, sometimes onboarding and mentoring newer team members
