PRYME - Pricing and Yield Management Engine

Role: Technical Lead

Started, built, and delivered PRYME on schedule, leading a team of 8 engineers.

About the Project

PRYME gave Yahoo’s pricing analysts two things they didn’t have before: a clear historical view of advertising prices across every Yahoo property, and a self-serve tool to actually change those prices, instead of routing every pricing update through engineering.

What I Built

The backend ran on Java and Spring with MySQL behind it, tested with JUnit and shipped through Jenkins. My job was less about writing the code myself and more about making sure the two teams under me, one on analytics and one on the pricing tool, shipped a coherent product instead of two disconnected halves.

Result

Pricing analysts could see the trends and act on them directly, cutting out the engineering-ticket cycle that used to sit between a pricing decision and it actually happening.
