  • Increased observability coverage from 74% to 100% across New Relic and Sumo Logic platforms by implementing comprehensive tracing for reverse proxy endpoints, serving new user experience UIs. This critical change improved our crash scene incident response time related to experience by 50% to 75%, through improved downstream service visibility.
  • Implemented production logging improvements for long-running transactions, eliminating dependency on manual thread dump collection, and S3 uploads for identifying and analyzing performance issues.
  • Resolved critical MySQL query timeouts on some of our stored procedure queries that run on updates by 98% through strategic query optimization and index implementation, improving application response times.
  • Identified and remediated production memory leaks in streaming APIs, tracking customer entity updates, preventing customer-impacting outages, and reducing memory usage by 50%.
  • Improved platform startup time for all our customers by 10%–15% by identifying and resolving a bug in one of the libraries that was used to track and monitor SQL transactions and execution time from our application.
  • Developed from scratch and maintained an automated performance testing framework that runs performance tests and stores metrics and reports to PostgreSQL and S3. The framework is integrated into our CI/CD pipeline for our new UIs, and it runs when a new version of the SPA is pushed to master.
