Situation

Google needed technical teams to optimize the distribution of global data traffic for YouTube and Web Applications. The scale was enormous — billions of requests per day flowing through a complex content delivery network.

Task

Lead technical teams focused on optimizing traffic routing and delivery for some of the highest-traffic web properties in the world.

Action

Led teams analyzing traffic patterns, identifying routing inefficiencies, and implementing optimizations at the CDN layer. Worked with network operations to monitor traffic distribution and balance loads across data centers.

Result

Successfully optimized traffic delivery for YouTube and Google Web Apps. The experience provided deep understanding of operating at massive scale — knowledge that informs my approach to any large-scale network challenge.
