Hmm oddly probably my first “real” full time job is where I had the most impact - I was one of two programmers hired for a summer to redesign a stress testing suite for a server hardware vendor, prime95, cuda-burn, etc. integrated into one single python application to collect the data. I stayed there during the school year part time and the next summer I got to hire another dev (my counterpart left to facebook). We then worked on a baremetal automation system that worked through IPMI to completely automate the burn in process -remotely starting servers as soon as they got their IP registered, PXe booting them to the burn in image, and then kicking off the testing process. We had a way overkill rabbitmq system to collect streaming logs from every server as they ran, and all orchestrated via rethinkdb change feeds. I think it is still the most complex software project I have done. Basically one python file would launch 7 separate python processes, each their own rethinkdb change feed. This predated docker otherwise it probably would have been 7 docker containers haha.
