About the Speaker:

In 2005, Stefan Rusek started work at Fog Creek software and worked at the creek for two and a half years. He worked on a number of fun things, his favorite being an overhaul of the search system to expose almost all the case information to searchers and used Lucene to exposed fast text search.

In May of 2008, Stefan moved to Poland and joined the then tiny dev team at Cheezburger Networks based in Seattle. Since then he's worn just about every hat that a developer can wear and still call himself a software developer. Over time, Stefan has focused on back-end and infrastructure work with the goal of making lives better for both users and for the other developers as well as making it possible to do the things his team needs done and easier to fall into the pit of success.

Some of the notable projects Stefan has worked on at Cheezburger are an automatic deployment system that can fetch, compile and deploy code across their web clusters with a single click and a database schema management system that automatically keeps the database schema up to date in the background. Most recently he overhauled their CI system to use psake to achieve a much higher level of consistency.

Stefan is the lead engineer at Cheezburger and their dev team is growing and looking for great devs to join the team. Most of their developers work remotely, though they have offices in Seattle and New York.


This meeting will be held at the Microsoft offices as usual. Check the Meetup site for details!
