One of our affiliates launched an amazing new website for their client using Drupal. The amount of traffic this client received, after sending a newsletter every Friday morning, was underestimated due to poor traffic statistics from the previous web host. iMedia was asked to act quickly. We started by providing an Extra-Large dedicated cloud server via Amazon EC2. We then were able to profile the code of the site to identify bottlenecks. Even after the major bottlenecks were addressed and a second smaller server was issued to share the load, the servers would run at 110% capacity during peak hours, serving over 150,000 customers between 9am and 11am each Friday. The server costs were not ideal to say the least. We acted quickly by launching, installing and uniquely configuring something called a "Reverse Proxy". This technology sits in front of the application server and intelligently recognizes what dynamically generated content can be stored in memory. Subsequent requests would then be served instantly without touching Drupal on the application server. The following Friday was a huge success. All the servers responded with only a maximum of a 20% load. We can now reduce the server requirements and the costs by 80%.

        Andrew was someone we relied heavily on during performance testing activities.  He knew the most about the system infrastructure and could easily pin-point where bottlenecks were occurring.  He was an invaluable part of the capacity and resiliency efforts and I truly appreciated all his efforts to ensure we understood the application behavior as well as how the load impacted the integrated or partnering systems.  Andrew is a true gem to work with, easy to engage into practically any conversation and he truly has a passion for technology.  I highly recommend working with Andrew and I hope to one day again too.

        I had the privilege of working with Andrew for approximately 9 months or so at Pearson.  He's an exceptional architect and developer who is extremely knowledgable with all the latest technologies, standards, and practices.  It was a delight to work with him.  

I highly recommend him to any potential employer.  If you ever get the chance to bring him on your team I suggest you do so very quickly.  Your window of opportunity will be likely be very small since there will certainly be a great deal of competition to hire him.
