	* I started my career at KAYAK by building low-level components for Java web applications (configuration, logging, error handling, servlet lifecycle event listeners, and such). I also authored KAYAK's first build and deployment framework, which scaled by a factor of 30x before we had to rearchitect it.		* I started my career at KAYAK by building low-level components for Java web applications (configuration, logging, error handling, servlet lifecycle event listeners, and such). I also authored KAYAK's first build and deployment framework, which scaled by a factor of 30x before we had to rearchitect it.
	* Built a distributed log processing system called "scrub". On a typical day, scrub performs log processing over 300-400 machines, and ingests 1.1TB of log data. Why not Hadoop? We needed a log processing system, Google had barely published their first paper on Map-Reduce, and Hadoop didn't exist yet. Scrub has worked well and ~~it's~~ still in active use ~~today~~. (KAYAK ~~uses~~ Hadoop for data analytics, but not to produce core business metrics.)		* Built a distributed log processing system called "scrub".

(KAYAK used Hadoop for data analytics, but not to produce core business metrics.)
	* Architected KAYAK's data warehouse, and the surrounding ETL processes. This system loads ~ 40 million rows/day into 43 fact tables. As of last count, our data warehouse contained 18 billion rows and a couple terabytes of data. I've also learned a lot of database tuning tricks, to get efficient query execution on large tables.		* Architected KAYAK's data warehouse, and the surrounding ETL processes.

	* Built a piece of middleware called "Business Broker". Business Broker (aka "BB") is a Java web service that automates data exchange between Salesforce.com, Doubleclick, KAYAK's internal ad engine, and our data warehouse. This automation has significantly improved the efficiency of KAYAK's commercial team.		* Built a piece of middleware called "Business Broker".
