Rivet & Sway

In April 2013 I joined Rivet & Sway, a cool young startup trying to disrupt the eye-ware market monopoly.



- Why a startup again ?
- Why Rivet & Sway ?

What Am I working on

I am going to blog into much more details about all this soon, once I find the time.

Here are some things I had to work on so far:

• Making Rivet & Sway scale One of the first thing I had to do was to make the existing E-commerce site scale and be reliable.

• Researching, specifying and implementing a new platform (Replace Drupal with Go)

• Mobile optimization.

• New Point Of Sale(in store) E-commerce solution, developed very quickly with Go + Revel & Zurb Fundation4.

• Lightweight reporting & Analytics server leveraging Go and Morris.js

• Implemented a new Style finder service based on Go/Martini with a bit of big data / learning thrown in leveraging MySql and the InfluxDb time series database.

• Researched alternatives to using Dropbox in the company setting

• Operational enhancements: As our order volume is growing rapidly it became important to optimize operations (Order processing, Shipping, EDI, inventory).

• Developer workflow tools to make it easy to deploy code and manage server caches and such.
