I joined Housing as a Senior Product Engineer and moved on to become a product tech manager and then senior product tech manager leading a team of 7 engineers and 2 analysts. As a tech manager, I worked on end to end software cycle right from designing, development, test automation, performance benchmarking, Server provisioning and setup, CI/CD, health check and monitoring.
During my time at Housing, I built my team from scratch and mentored them for rapid feature development and deployment. I engineered an online remarketing engine like bidder, adserver, dynamic creative optimisation dashboard, data management platform. System was written in Python & GoLang and was supporting 50k/QPS on 5 server cluster. I used Python, Golang, Django, Redis, Postgres, MonetDB, Aerospike, AngularJS, Jquery, RabbitMQ etc during my time at Housing.
Learnt a lot about prioritizing and picking the battles which are important to fight, and then executing in the most efficient manner. I've also learnt more about the business impact of technology and automation, and how to build really useful products.
