• Systems Engineer

  • Nov 2010 - Oct 2013

  • Designed and implemented technical account migrations in Python • I designed a new migration to accomodate the demands of our Japanese customer OCN. This migration used current python modules and classes from our migrations repo, as well as my own. The migration scheme when I was hired was to migrate one account at a time, but it soon became clear this was not going to work to migrate 3000 customers in one day as per OCN’s demands. I developed a migration that will easily migrate 3000 or more customers in one day, thus satisfying the contract demands of OCN. • Helped develop and debug internal python api libraries • Created cross platform migrations of web accounts • Documented my code and continuously committed to the svn repo • Learned to read and debug PERL because most of the back end tools were written in PERL. Translated a few important PERL scripts into Python, for readability and functionality. Show less
