2020: The Content Police

IM Moderation v1

Role: Developer
Tech Stack: Kohana (PHP)

The Responsibility

Moderation isn't just about deleting spam. It's about safety. We were filtering text, images, and videos. The system had to be fast (real-time chat) and accurate.

The Tech

I added support for diverse content types. This taught me about handling binary data, mime types, and the sheer volume of data a messaging platform generates. Every optimization I made here directly impacted thousands of conversations.
