During that time, Disney hired me to assist with technical integration and development of the site. For example, the developers at Heavenspot needed a persistent storage medium for the user&#8217;s avatar data &#8211; which had to fit into Disney&#8217;s enterprise infrastructure. Web site traffic was extremely high at Disney (some of the highest on the internet), and the use of CDNs and clouds were critical to keep up with the demands. To solve the problem, the Java devs built a back end service to fit the requirements for performance and security. I built the as3 components to work with that service, and assisted Heavenspot with integrating into the site. I also assisted with restructuring the asset locations for CDN deployment , as well as some promotional projects such as a sweepstakes component.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<div style=\"width: 512px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1592-2\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" poster=\"https:\/\/d3od4vl78dd97d.cloudfront.net\/blogimages\/tronteaser.jpg\" preload=\"none\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/d3od4vl78dd97d.cloudfront.net\/blogvideo\/tronteaser.mp4?_=2\" \/><source type=\"video\/webm\" src=\"https:\/\/d3od4vl78dd97d.cloudfront.net\/blogvideo\/tronteaser.webm?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/d3od4vl78dd97d.cloudfront.net\/blogvideo\/tronteaser.mp4\">https:\/\/d3od4vl78dd97d.cloudfront.net\/blogvideo\/tronteaser.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nBefore the big site, I worked on making this <em>teaser<\/em> site which was a placeholder.
