I worked on the Yahoo! Open Strategy (YOS) project. The YOS project aims to transform Yahoo!’s consumer offering into a common experience built on open platform technology. Platforms provide users’ social data over standardized webservices, which can be used by multiple yahoo properties to make the user experience consistent across the network. My primary responsibilities included : * Handle operations and service engineering for globally distributed web applications running on over high end RHEL servers spread over multiple datacenters worldwide. * Implemented monitoring and continuous application healthchecks, to detect and route around network and backend failures, ensuring 100% availability. * Handle integration with 3rd party data sources both within and outside the company. * Provide high level architecture for new applications and handle their deployment on production systems. * Provide on‐call support for the web applications, handle emergency escalations and fix production problems, working within tight SLAs.Select achievements : * Designed the architecture of the people search backend component and deployed the component as a part of YOS. * Planned and executed the process to feed about 400 Million User records into the People search index systems in 5 data centers simultaneously. * Worked on integrating social data feeds from facebook and twitter into YOS.
