Reduced median deployment wait times by 80%- Real-time Log Streaming: Built a real-time streaming API service in Go, allowing users to view deployment logs live. Implemented log publishing from deployment workers to Redis Pub/Sub and integrated AWS S3 for historical log viewing- Caching and Performance: Introduced a distributed caching layer with Redis for frequently accessed deployment metadata, cutting backend API latency by 60% and improving responsiveness platform-wide- Data Infrastructure and Analytics: Developed a deployment insights platform for real-time CI/CD metrics in Databricks. Leveraged CDC from MySQL to AWS Kinesis with Go-based Lambdas, and authored DBT models for analytics standardization- Security and Access Control: Built Just-in-Time (JIT) IAM, a full-stack Go and TypeScript/React system generating temporary AWS IAM roles, enhancing platform security. Also implemented fine-grained RBAC via Casbin for streamlined authorization management- Observability and Reliability: Instrumented 30+ Go backend APIs with OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing and Prometheus metrics.
