The Concurrency & Build Legacy

High-scale graph analytics require traversing multi-million node datasets under sub-second SLAs without memory exhaustion. Meanwhile, core analytics libraries were constrained by legacy Gradle 5 builds, causing protracted CI feedback cycles and dependency version locks across engineering squads.

The Engineering Solution

Engineered optimized REST endpoints and memory-mapped buffers for PGX graph query execution in PGQL/SQL, cutting memory footprint by 25%. Spearheaded the Gradle 5 to Gradle 8 upgrade across core analytics modules, cutting CI build times by 40% and authoring ADRs to enforce modern Java concurrency standards.
