In EADP Marketplace team with the goal to build a platform for supporting complex game economies for console and mobile titles.

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

I was a member of EA AllPlay Tools and Technology Team responsible for building a game platform to support numerous EA game titles. Main contributions:• Designed and developed a metrics library based on Codahale Metrics for Google App Engine• Support game teams to adopt the best practices for monitoring application behavior in production• Designed and developed a telemetry/data analytics pipeline for The Simpsons Tapped Out (TSTO) to consume hundreds of millions of events per day

Genius Platform Team (July 2012 - Sep 2012)I worked on the scalable chat service responsible for serving 25K+ concurrent users and 1M+ MAUs for various games on pogo.com. Main contributions:• Implemented ejabberd modules to expose xmpp API through REST endpoints• Extended core exmpp APIs implementing the xmpp standard RFC• Implemented a mechanism to dynamically scale the number of chat rooms• Load tested and optimized the chat service for better performance, scalability and robustnessWorld Series of Poker Team (Aug 2011 - June 2012)Prior to that I worked on the scalable server architecture and various services powering EA's World Series of Poker game for iOS and Android. My main contributions:• Worked on extending an Erlang/OTP based server responsible for hosting games • Worked on asynchronous Jetty Continuations based Java services responsible for user management, Facebook connectivity, in-game currency transactions and player stats• Completely overhauled game bots to make it easier for developers to write tests covering complex player-game interactions• Instrumented Erlang game server to publish performance and operation level metrics to Rightscale and Graphite• Developed a Google Protocol Buffer to Java Object mapper (à la Jackson) for our Java services

My research primarily focused on fault-tolerant distributed systems. I worked on developing an efficient real-time partial order representation for instrumented event data generated by large parallel and distributed applications.

One of the initial 4 person team that developed a highly scalable chat and messaging server architecture for a web startup: bumpin.com. I worked on all parts of the stack, from scalable server development, database management, deployment automation to writing Ruby, JavaScript, HTML and CSS for the web front-end. Main technical contributions:• Developed the core scalable chat and messaging server architecture in Python • Front-end web development in Ruby on Rails• Chat widget browser-integration using JavaScript and Flex

• I helped develop real-time gesture recognition schemes for pervasive environments• Compared and evaluated gesture recognition schemes based on Real Time Warping and Hidden Markov Models
