I implemented a major geospatial search feature within the AppEngine - Datastore/Search team using a range of technologies including Megastore, Datastore, Python and Java.

Worked on Yedalog, a programming language developed within Programming Language Research. My internship project was to explore using Just-In-Time compilation with LLVM (clang backend) to replace interpretation. The project was successful and showed a substantial improvement in speed.
