Software Engineer (Developer) 2

eBay - Bangalore, Karnataka - June 2014 to October 2015
Worked in Central Application and Logging Team (CAL) at eBay which enabled insights into logging data from
across eBay (around 400TB raw data per day)
I design and implemented a distributed, realtime, adhoc querying solution over logs from eBay's services. The
system had to ingest 2 million log messages per second, and had a latency of < 1s before the data became
available for querying. The system had 0.5% message loss, which was significantly lower than 5% in the old
system
