Intern

Technical Intern
The New York Times (New York, New York)
June 2008-August 2008

Summer Internship at New York Times Digital, a division of The New York Times Company that develops and maintains NYTimes.com and other digital properties. Designed and constructed an internal system for handling Wedding Announcements for the Style Desk. The system used a MySQL store, and exposed a REST API. Helped build two user-facing interfaces: a public facing submission form, and an internal queue management and composition system. Also contributed to other internal projects.

Achievements:

Designed and implemented a MySQL schema to store Wedding Announcements, reﬂecting the need of submitters and editors. Schema supported versioning and per-ﬁeld annotation by editors.
Built a RESTful-style API to access the database for use by both the internal queue management system, and, potentially, outside developers.
Contributed to the code and design of the internal PHP REST services library used to provide access to all NYTimes.com APIs.
Designed and implemented an S3- and EC2-based system to store and process large print-quality wedding photographs.
Installed the Openﬁre XMPP server internally, and wrote a “bot” in Ruby to notify teams when code was committed to their module in the internal Subversion repository
Contributed a blog post to the NYTimes Open Blog reﬂecting on the internship.
