Auction System Development - Go, Ethereum BlockchainI contributed to the development of a blockchain-based auction system, ensuring transparent and secure transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. In a team of two Go developers at the time, I used my Go programming skills and the Gin framework to build the backend architecture.I also worked with product, design, and frontend teams to create a scalable and robust system infrastructure, demonstrating effective collaboration and technical skills in a small team setting.Data Acquisition and Processing - RustWhen the Auction project was definitively stopped, I saw it as an opportunity to explore new areas. It seemed like the perfect time to transition to a team working with a language I had always been interested in: Rust.So, I joined the Data Acquisition team, focusing on enhancing an existing Rust program that fetches terabits of data daily from the APIs of major platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, and TikTok.Our goal is to supply data that will be used to generate dashboards for product and business teams, along with training AI models to spot the best content trends and more.I gained proficiency in Rust within a year, making significant contributions to our codebase. I overcame challenges related to its unique syntax and async/await paradigm. This task was particularly challenging as I transitioned from a background in Go.Here is a brief overview of what I worked on at Jellysmack - Enhanced our quota management system by designing and implementing a buffering algorithm, aggregating requests into large batches before sending them to Redis, effectively eliminating preventive timeouts due to overload- Maintained a fully Rust-based data acquisition CLI tool, handling the collection and streaming of large-scale data, to our AWS Kinesis Firehose, ETL, Databases- Benefited from mentoring by a senior developer and participating in mutual code reviews of our pull requests.
