As a member of EADP Mobile team, I led a team to build the new push notification system from ground up. As part of that effort, I participated in the design and development of the system, helped support our customers to on-board on the new system. Helped maintain, support and then eventually decommission the legacy PN system to reduce operating costs. Key highlights (as of May 2016):• Over 20 games are using the system including FIFA 16 & 17, Sims Free Play, Minions, Tetris, The Simpsons Tapped Out (TSTO), UFC and several other titles• On average the system sends out over a billion notifications per month• The system can autoscale from 0 to over a billion notifications for load spikes
