Spearheaded technical decisions while also leading the scaling operations by creating a sustainable, top tier engineering organization. Mythical Platform• Architected an event-driven architecture on GCP using Kafka, Protobufs, Golang and Kotlin to bring stability to an unstable blockchain technology so that game servers could reliably create in-game inventory on the chain• Developed a game server SDK that wrapped gRPC server streams to seamlessly deliver asynchronous player inventory events to the game server, which allowed game developers to focus on building their game without having to know anything about the blockchain • Built out the engineering team from a group of five engineers to over a hundred engineers while being a 100% remote companyBlankos Block Party (Unity - PC)• Architected a REST API to manage all player data and Blankos collections as a replacement to Playfab to drastically reduce server costs• Modified the Blankos client to swap out Playfab SDK calls with REST calls in-place so that the client team was not impacted by the migration to our own backend• Built the marketplace event-driven infrastructure that facilitated players being able to buy and sell Blankos between each other using GCP, Kotlin and gRPC to push events to the game server

• Responsible for building and scaling the OpenX Engineering team, including hiring and mentoring dozens of engineers, instilling best practices (e.g. continuous integration, design reviews), and ensuring that products are shipped on time, with quality.• Collaborated with teams and leaders across the organization to align the direction of OpenX Engineering with the needs of customers, partners, and internal constituents. As a member of the OpenX Senior Team, helped guide the company’s strategy and operations.• Managed the transition of customers from decaying legacy platforms to new platforms, ensuring an “always up” experience and successful migration of data and revenues.• Lead the following engineering initiatives; a complete rewrite of the API with the goal of deploying campaign changes worldwide in under 5 minutes; Ad Quality, a system to review all ads served for a publisher; User Experience refactoring, to improve the customer experience; and the Reporting initiative, which allows users to build reports based on ad hoc queries.

• Worked with a small team of engineers and product managers to build an enterprise-level ad server in six months to deliver to a multi-national customer. Primary responsibilities were for the RESTful API, user interface, and relational database design.• Lead engineering hiring initiatives that helped grow the front-end engineering team to over 20 engineers. Integrated QA automation engineers and manual testers into the team, which improved the relationship between both and improved the quality of code. • Built an SSO OAuth Server in PHP, using the RFC and Zend Framework. This SSO Server contained an admin console, separate from the application itself, and an internal API for all external applications to use. Also built an automated release process that packages up the applications into an RPM and then releases the code to the environment you specify. This decreased the time it took to test new features and bug fixes.• Improved stability and scalability of critical products that generated over $154MM in 2012.

• Lead a team of four engineers in multiple projects to complete the tasks on time and satisfying our customer’s requirements.• Implemented PHP code using the Domain Object Model in conjunction with the Zend Framework Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Code developed using these methods greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the application and facilitates the ability to deploy to different systems with different data stores without code revisions.• Developed a web application that was built on top of a Java API layer using Thrift, so that backend development and front end development could be done concurrently.• Developed a technique to integrate MVC architecture inside of an existing legacy application using PHP and Zend. This allows a targeted approach to rewriting any existing legacy PHP application. • Integrated Ad Group support with multi-ad keywords for publishers, allowing the ability to coordinate unique ads with certain keywords and directly increasing the Quality Score with Google.• Created a web interface for dynamically manipulating ad images using GD and PHP, which is used to deploy text ads to content publishers that used imaging instead of text.• Started Peer Reviews and Unit Testing using PHPUnit to document and improve the team’s code. • Wrote an email handling system in PHP with Zend that supports custom templates and internationalization on the fly.• Rewrote legacy applications with AJAX to improve load times, user satisfaction, and decrease overall server load.• Coordinated with a Java backend team, a Perl Automation team, and a DBA team on a consistent basis to architect complex solutions to issues presented by the business team. • Administered the code repository as lead release engineer, ensuring quality version control and deployment via extensive custom bash and python scripting. • Coordinated on projects with the international team in Mumbai, reviewed their code and instructed the team on ways to improve their output.
