Mesg.ai was an early-stage sales technology startup which aimed to automate the prospect email writing and research process. The company was created with investment from Antler VC. I was hired as the first backend engineer and made responsible for infrastructure and software development of the backend platform.
My first task at Mesg.ai was the integration of a new sales automation platform, namely Salesloft. I delivered the integration ahead of schedule and was able to release the integration to Salesloft users, thus expanding the reach of Mesg's product.
I developed a core set of APIs used by the Mesg application to do near real-time text analysis on emails. This involved writing several natural language processing methods in Golang, such as sentiment analysis, stop word detection, slang detection and more.
The APIs achieved sub millisecond response times when network delays were discounted.
