I worked as a back-end developer for TSM, which is IBM's backup & recovery product for enterprise storage environments. I worked in an agile scrum team which rolled out new features continuously.The product got its start in the early 90's. Considering how much the computing landscape has changed since then, much of my work involved keeping the product relevant and useable in the current era. One such adaptation I implemented was adding a RESTful interface to our server management tools. Not everyone these days could capitalize on our server command-line interface (for instance, someone writing some JavaScript to run inside a web browser), so the REST API gave our customers a much-needed alternative. Another major change in the storage environment from the 90's to today is the explosion in amount of data that customers need to store (and to backup). In order to handle this increase in data, I worked on a team which sought to improve our data processing speed. I replaced the old single-threaded data processing system with a more robust multithreaded processing system. With this approach we were able to see an order of magnitude improvement in our data processing time.
