Software Engineering Intern

• Developed a new controller to aid in bot detection handling over 750k requests / minute, using a multi-layered caching system, out-of-band cache writes, and stale-while-revalidate to maintain a 99.9999% cache hit rate.

• Implemented a CI cost saving measure allowing for the selective use of a sidecar with test runners, halving the resources required for 15,000 CI builds a month.
• Identified 3 MySQL queries needing forced indexes resulting in a reduction of 5,000 query timeouts per day.
• Developed a customized AI agent workflow to address over 800 SQL issues involving 3,500 unit and integration tests, allowing the project to be finished 2 months ahead of schedule.
• Responded to 17 on-call incidents as primary; identified the root cause in a worst level incident.
