Engineering, R&D, DevRel, Product at serpapi.com πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Continuously helping to increase MRR at serpapi.com by doing engineering, r&d, mentoring, marketing, and hiring.

Sharing my knowledge about web scraping internally and externally (#SerpApiPodcast).

Programming for 11 years. Focus on performance and maintainability. Currently using Ruby and JavaScript for web scraping.

At SerpApi, LLC:

  • Sped-up decoding of HTML is JS strings from 40 to 17k ips. Sped up the Nokogiri gem by 10% on HTML files larger than 1 MB.

At Together Networks:
Sped up releases by 3 hours and freed up 1 TB in production. Introduced webpack, Babel, linters, unit, and visual regression testing. Mentored teammates to do TDD.

* Bring gray-box testing to the frontend: Jest for unit tests with jest-puppeteer for a kind of integration tests. Added execution of frontend tests to the release pipeline. Helping developers to write tests. * Saved 1.09 TB on production servers. * Implemented a cluster of build processes to create sprite images and compile *.less files in parallel. Due to this, the release time approximately decreased from 2 hours to 1 hour, so we can ship features and bug fixes faster. * Approximately decreased memory usage of sprite and *.less files build processes from 1.5G to 600M. Used node-heapdump, valgrind and llnode to perform profiling and analysis. * Migrated front-end code to Webpack and made a presentation about that transition at the local meetup. * Reduced amount of bugs in the custom build system. * Optimized build system performance by decreasing I/O calls from 14M to 1,3M. * Implemented I/O-optimized solution to build sprite images and almost I/O-optimized solution to compile Less files. * Done three huge refactorings of the build system. * Improved Yii's AssetManager by forbidding assets "publishing" during the web requests. * Integrated Google Tag Manager to the top websites of our company. Of course, with custom tags, variables, triggers and dimensions. * Performed code reviews. * Was a mentor of release engineer. * Participated in Jenkins integration.
