Provided expert consulting services to assist businesses in building and scaling highly reliable and performant distributed systems.

Distributed Rate Limiting and Idempotency

  • Designed and implemented a distributed sliding window rate limiter using a distributed counter.
  • Developed OpenAPI-based validation to standardize the rate limiter's rollout across microservices.

Real-Time Shipment Cost Tracking

  • Leveraged Temporal to build a robust and scalable workflow orchestration system for tracking shipment costs in near real-time.
  • Solved a unique idempotency challenge using container numbers, ensuring consistent global updates across the distributed system.

High-Performance Network Monitoring for Real-time Applications

  • Designed and implemented Slogr's core TWAMP protocol in Rust, optimizing for low latency and minimal resource consumption, critical for real-time application performance.

End-to-End User Journey Visibility for Mobiles

To gain visibility into user interactions within embedded third-party websites, I advised implementing a server-side shell with iframes. I then developed a custom extension for the OpenTelemetry Node.js SDK to enable cross-frame communication of OpenTelemetry data, allowing the child iframe to send data to the parent mobile app's OpenTelemetry pipeline, providing end-to-end user journey visibility.

AI-Powered Video Annotation Platform

Led the technical development of an AI-powered video annotation platform designed to help media companies and content creators unlock new revenue streams.

  • Designed and implemented a framework-agnostic JavaScript SDK to seamlessly embed Double's media player and annotation features into any website or web application without requiring code modifications.
