Senior Python Developer

Core developer, worked on a high load distributed service serving
millions mobile ads per second.

· I developed a high load distributed service hosted on Amazon AWS (EC2, S3), based on Django, using Python, Redis, MySQL, HP Vertica, Twisted, Celery, gevent and a little bit Lua on top of Nginx for lower level networking.

Fixed a system to scale linearly by profiling and eliminating critical bottlenecks, and dramatically reducing IO usage on each cluster node.
Implemented a global lock feature on top of a Redis DB. Whenever it should be guaranteed that the shortcode section has exclusive access to some portion of data, it just acquires a lock, and other instances won't be able to reach it until release.
Dramatically reduced latency by adding memorization on top of a local process memory and 2-level caching (local and remote Redis).
Integrated with Google Ads, MobFox, and other RTB partners (real-time bidding).
Created a special filtering layer on the level of Nginx. Lua scripts apply all the filtering efficiently by dropping not-useful connections very early, even before it gets to the Python back end.

Developed a data-set preparation layer for a cloud machine learning platform: the data was accepted in different formats, and it has to be unpacked, parsed, shuffled, normalized, split onto parts, and fed into the machine learning workers' queue.
Created a data set management system: a user can upload his data sets, review them, view some statistics, configure how to process them, download and remove them. It then passes it into the machine learning session OFC.

Projects

Simple OTP Demo

Simple OTP is a functional and secure solution demo. It allows users to verify their email or phone number by entering a unique One-Time Password (OTP) code. The demo app was built using a combination of cutting-edge technologies, including React, Material-UI, and AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and the Serverless framework.

With Simple OTP, users can enter their email or phone number, receive an OTP code, and then enter the code to receive a signed JWT token that contains their email or phone number in the sub claim. This demo app demonstrates integration with third-party APIs such as Twilio and Mailgun for SMS and email services, respectively. It showcases use of Python, PyOTP, PyJWT, PynamoDB, and Requests libraries for server-side programming and API integration.

Push To Notion (web app integration)

Push to Notion" is a tool that allows users to quickly and easily add items to their Notion to-do list from various sources, such as Siri, Alfred, Slack, and Telegram. The motivation for this project came from the need for a convenient way to add items to a Notion to-do list without having to open the Notion app and locate the appropriate page. This can be especially useful for users who are on-the-go or occupied with other tasks, as it helps to maintain momentum and context.
