Bolo is a video questions and answers platform for Indian users. It allows users to post short one minute video answers to questions posted by other users. I handled the complete backend built on Python's Django framework and other micro services. I also added many features to the Bolo's android app. Apart from these I worked on various things like: • One to one video call scheduling, payment gateway integration and connecting via webRTC, implemented and deployed custom turn/stun and signalling servers • Feed Performance: database optimizations, thumbnail blurred previews implementation using AWS lambda • Search Optimization: implemented both Postgres Full-Text Search and ElasticSearch with support for hindi characters • Worked on transcoding videos to various formats and adaptive streaming using HLS protocol • Developed various in-house tools to help teams in their daily tasks • Managing servers on AWS stack, load balancing, scaling etc. • Setup centralized logging for all servers using ELK stack
