I joined Google NYC in 2015, and work across Google's suite of Search and News products. My current area of focus involves reducing the overall complexity of the distributed systems that power news experiences across Google.
I'm a strong advocate for team culture rooted in psychological safety and growth opportunities, having found that this makes a team greater than the sum of its parts.
I've done a bit of everything over the years, including:
- Making significant contributions to Search's feature model and rendering architecture
- Improving our understanding of user queries at serving time
- Designing, running, and analyzing dozens of live traffic A/B experiments
- Everything that comes with a production release rotation (deployments, monitoring, resolving production outages, etc.)
- Building rich, interactive user-interfaces in collaboration with Design
- Conducting qualitative user surveys in collaboration with UXR
- Contributing to product roadmaps in collaboration with Product Management
- Streamlining internal processes in collaboration with Program Management
A nonexhaustive list of the consumer-facing products I've led and
worked on:
- The latest version of search in Google News (TL, 30+ contributors)
- COVID-19 experiences in Google Search (News TL)
- Smarter organization of Top Stories in Search (TL)
- Labeling fact-check articles in Google News
- AMP in Google Search (initial and expansion launches)
Other experience of note:
- Current co-chair of our DEI Championship program
- Member of our inaugural Leading for Liberation cohort (with The Adaway Group)
- Hosted 5 engineers through the now-retired Engineering Residency program (100% conversion rate to full-time)
- Mentored 5 summer interns
