Recording: Scale By The Bay 2019: Umayah Abdennabi interview
[Music] I'm Way up Tanabe I'm a software engineer at grammarly on the data platform team [Music] so this is my first time speaking at scale by the bay and I heard about it around 2 3 3 4 years ago when I was watching their talks that they were generating on YouTube so the IP my talk is on iterators and the idea is iterators solved this idea of separating concerns of abstraction of stress so so my talk is on iterators and the reason i found it interesting is because the pattern of iterators what they're trying to solve is abstracting the some collection internal representation from the algorithm and this abstraction and how programming languages create abstractions to iterate over a collection this is the key fundamental construct in programming languages to iteration so I work on the data platform team which is a internal data analytics platform that takes user event data how users interact with our product whether they sign up click on a button open an editor close or how they go through a website we take that data and we generate reports for our marketing and we allow them to generate reports and core to our data platform is spark and it underlines a lot of the jobs we run and spark it the coursework we have iterators and understanding in how understanding how innovators play and spark yeah I'm interested in a few of the functional talks and the reactive stocks like the one on Scala notebooks and the one on just part or not to spark [Music] over the next year I'm looking forward to really scaling our data platform to handle you know magnitudes or more events and be able to run those magnitude of more events in way so what I'm looking forward to scaling our internal data and analytics platform and to handle orders of magnitude or more data and to run that faster and optimize and give users more features and how they view and transform data [Music] I love that it brings together functional programmers Scala programmers and Big Data programmers from around the world in to this beautiful Bay Area [Music]
