I was a part of the social media monitoring team at Falcon. As a Python backend developer focusing on the service and API layer, I developed new services, maintained old ones and managed our infrastructure. Social media monitoring allows businesses to monitor what is being said about their or a competitor's brand, monitor interactions with social media campaigns or simply monitor certain words or phrases. CODE ● Reduced number of required servers from 10 to 3 by profiling and optimizing our Python parser service ● Wrote a number of microservices using the Flask framework exposing and communicating using RESTish APIs ● Used Docker and Docker Compose to support integration tests, both locally and on DroneCI ● Used Graphite, StatsD, CollectD and Grafana to monitor applications and the servers they ran on ● Maintained high volume data ingestion pipeline using Python based services and using Kafka as the message bus ● Continuously investigated tools to improve workflow and code quality
