Semgel
Duration: August 2009 to present
So here I was, being offered to join an early stage startup focusing on using Semantic Web technologies to solve some really neat problems. Considering that I have been interested in the Semantic Web ever since I got to know about it, and considering that there are not even a handful of startups working in this domain in Bangalore, it was a match made in heaven!
My role is that of a Senior Product Engineer. Being the first employee in the company and the only one doing engineering development, I have been in complete charge of engineering. I joined at a stage where everything had to be done from the ground up – right from setting up servers, to writing the first line of code.
The job involves the following:
- Setting up the office networks
- Setting up the entire engineering infrastructure – versioning tools, bug management tools, development and test servers, document management, backups, user managment, configuration management, iteration process, deployment, production server setup, monitoring, cloud setup etc
- Coming up with the architecture for the product
- Coming up with engineering guidelines
- Server side code development
- Performance testing of the product
Since the startup is in stealth mode, I am not in a position to disclose more details. The company website is here.
