Worked for AmplifyLearn.ai on Colleague.ai - Addressed slow data collection speed using asynchronous Python and an EC2 instance, speeding up data collection by 3-10x, increasing iteration speed for the product and research team. - Increased quality of generated data by rewriting data collection to generate structured data, creating consistent outputs for the frontend team and cleaner training data for the research team. - Migrated existing RDS database from SQL server to PostgreSQL and revamped the schema, resulting in a 2x cost reduction and better support for the structured data produced from data collection. - Simplified identifying and fixing errors in stored data by reducing duplicated data in relational database and object file store, streamlining transforming data and keeping track of where data is.
