Swapipe is the place where communication was a crucial skill being a part of the Demand team due to very tight cooperation with the marketing department and data analytics. Our team was there to maintain the site, implement new features, do a ton of A/B tests and otherwise assist the stakeholders in driving the sales.

At Swappie I had a few big wins:

- led the team during migration of ~3m customers and their data from one marketing platform to another. I designed and we developed a python and then (when we inevitably hit the python limits) Node.js program (were able to consistently hit API limits of the marketing platform, pushing Node.js limits). As a result marketing team were able to expand their activities on a new platform contributing to improving the YoY growth of Swappie sales.

- had a mentoring program where I would discuss new & old tech with the team, implementing some of it, or just exploring what’s out there

- brought down the TTP - time to production (time from the moment of the PR made to the production - entire CI/CD pipeline) down from 50 minutes to 20 saving tons of time for developers and saving a substantial amount of money for the business.

- made the swappie.com load 110% faster (reduced LCP - time to render the largest portion of your screen) by optimizing our assets loading pipeline. Noticed the issue by studying our Datadog dashboard. This improved swappie.com SEO positions and helped to save costs on infrastructure scaling during the peak season, not to mention the improved user experience.

- developed custom infallible redis client to ensure the website stays online even when the Redis server is down
