SEEKING WORK Location: Washington DC and remote I'm a software engineer specializing in designing and building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Currently, I'm helping clients with dev ops problems like setting up web apps to scale for 10x more traffic, profiling/optimizing slow code paths, and building analytics pipelines with AWS. Before that, I was a principal engineer at Vox Media, and worked on some notable projects: - Simultaneously upgraded their 81k LOC monolith to Ruby 2.1 and Rails 3.2 with no downtime http://product.voxmedia.com/2014/5/29/5759244/vox-media-ruby-rails-upgrade-chorus http://product.voxmedia.com/2014/5/29/5759244/vox-media-ruby... - Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events http://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-syllabus-vox-medias-s3-powered-liveblog-platform http://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-sy... - Converted all image processing to Thumbor (https://github.com/thumbor https://github.com/thumbor), and scaled it to resize 1.3 million images a day Technologies: Ruby/Rails, Golang, Python/Django, AWS, Redis, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Chef, StatsD, Varnish, ElasticSearch, WebPageTest Github: https://github.com/clifff https://github.com/clifff LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clifreeder https://www.linkedin.com/in/clifreeder Blog: https://clifff.com https://clifff.com clifreeder@gmail.com
