Recording service + storage that launched to GA at $1.1M ARR.

Backend Software Engineer, Pendo

session replay rec

the short version

At Pendo I architected the recording service and time-partitioned storage behind Session Replay, then cut playback latency 30% with a new event pipeline. Later, a multi-IdP SAML SSO overhaul unlocked $3M+ ARR.
