* Implemented software-side changes required for sharding a large SQL database * Helped introduce the use of web services, making it easier to scale and distribute systems and improving the transparency of database technology * Designed and built tools to improve systems monitoring and alerting, allowing flexible, reliable actions to be taken based on user-defined conditions. * Worked on the implementation of a system for replicating database changes across multiple database technologies on many servers in near-real time, dramatically decreasing the coupling required for replication * Introduced measurements using StatsD and Graphite to improve insights into performance issues, allowing us to quickly identify and resolve hotspots. Improved general page load times and reduced spiking across one application by up to 50% as well as having the insight to track and avoid future regressions.
