The Challenge

A distributed search platform serving as the critical dependency for all other applications in a healthcare data ecosystem. Infrastructure costs were growing linearly with data volume, and the team needed to maintain 99% uptime while optimizing for long-term sustainability.

The Approach

Led a team of 10-14 staff engineers in redesigning the infrastructure layer. Built Java services and MapReduce data processing pipelines powering all search services for a NoSQL datastore. Processing pipelines generated fresh outputs on 2, 4, and 6-hour refresh cycles. Focused on infrastructure efficiency optimizations that would compound over time.
