What did I work on?
In my role, I have been a key member of the backend team, and my responsibilities have included:
- Migrating the backend from Tornado to Sanic: This transition has allowed us to leverage Sanic’s asynchronous capabilities, improving the overall performance and scalability of our system.
- Asynchronous Function Implementation: I moved all blocking operations outside of the main loop by making the functions async, ensuring non-blocking, efficient operations.
- Enhancing Reminders Functionality: I have worked extensively on the reminders feature, ensuring timely and accurate notifications for users.
- Improving Push Notifications: I have made significant improvements to our push notification system, enhancing reliability and analytics.
- Developing a New Scheduler: Currently, I am working on a new scheduler to abstract asynchronous operations and cron events further by running them in Celery, providing more robust and flexible task scheduling.
