Smarty was a young data oriented startup that set out to discover and analyse the huge online world of news. It provided a platform for users to discover news using a combination of search filters that can understand the content. Smarty also tracked the performance of news content over time on social media, allowing the user to view real time insights about what is trending around the world. I was responsible for implementing the data infrastructure that handled the storage and querying of Smarty's data. This powered the end user experience. I needed to support a variety of data types and storage technologies that allowed the analysis of huge amounts of full-text and statistical data.
