About Me
I navigate the gray areas of technology..
Computers think in black and white, but our world is rarely quite that simple. Software and hardware inevitably have to deal with the mess that is reality, and that’s where I come in. I find ways to translate uncertainty and complexity into something more tractible.
Experience
I manage privacy engineers within Google’s Privacy & Security organization in addition to my individual technical contributions (see next). As of 2021 I manage an organization of ~60 direct and indirect reports.
I work with Google engineering, product, UX, legal, and other cross-functional teams to build products that respect and protect our users.
Google SRE is responsible for the availability, latency, performance, efficiency, change management, monitoring, emergency response, and capacity planning of Google products.
I worked on various portions of the Yelp stack including the primary customer-facing web application and the lower level shared site infrastructure. I also worked on Yelp’s tools and release process. Yelp is a top-500 website with [tens of millions of monthly visitors] (https://www.yelp.com/factsheet).
I built user interface components and addon APIs for [Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhammer_Online:_Age_of_Reckoning).
