Online poker backend
Winamax · Sep 2011 – Nov 2012 · high-traffic online poker platform
Winamax runs online poker at a scale where the backend is the core of the product. I built platform modules in event-driven C++, in a codebase where concurrency, messaging and memory behaviour directly affect game execution, latency and reliability.
What I did
I developed new platform modules in C++ using libevent and OpenAMQ for event-driven messaging, and worked on multithreaded code and performance optimisation. I also used debugging, profiling and scripting to investigate and improve behaviour in a live, high-traffic production environment.
Technical proof
Architecture
Event-driven backend modules built with libevent and OpenAMQ.
Scalability
Multithreaded C++ and code optimisation on modules serving a high-traffic platform.
