Here's a list of my Job Responsibilities as the CTO: • Design and implement the software/hardware architectures that support the Friend2Friend Platform, a highly distributed system running on top of multiple AWS geographic regions. The system consists of a globally load-balanced frontend and backend layers, several MySQL shards (multi-master + 2 replicas per shard), distributed caching (based on Redis) and heavy use of the AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, CloudFront, SES, etc.). • Design and implement the core backend layer (Java) of the Platform. This includes modules to handle requests, database connections, caching layers, http sessions, emails, logging, audio/video transcoding (FFmpeg), integration with 3rd party APIs, etc., as well as interfaces to abstract the low-level complexity of the system to the team of engineers building software on top of the Platform. • Design and implement the core frontend layer (JavaScript) of the Platform, a custom-built framework that unifies all common tasks running on the client side. It includes several modules, wrappers and global utilities to communicate with our backend endpoints and 3rd party APIs, handle all Ajax and CORS requests, report telemetry and analytics, etc. • Design and implement an internal web-based back-office tool to manage the whole infrastructure. This includes tools to manage web/data clusters (push config files, restart services...), load balancers, CDN, code pushes, code branching/merging, analytics, projects, provisioning, permissions, code switches, etc. • Manage the technical team and development process of our internal systems, tools, products and projects. • As a Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer and LinkedIn Certified Developer, lead all technical efforts to bring the latest social capabilities into the Platform.
