Wayfair, Software Engineer
July 2017 - Present
-
Batch Notifications Team
- Wrote a process in Java using Spark that allowed my team to build lists of tens of millions of customers in a small fraction of the original time (~4% compared to the legacy process). This reduced the time spent troubleshooting this process by both my team and our stakeholders to essentially zero.
- Led an initiative to rewrite old, poorly scalable SQL code, saving the team time and reducing CPU strain on the server.
