I joined Google NYC in 2015, and currently manage a team focused on building core services and infrastructure that provide fresh and relatable content from the web to a wide range of Google products, including Gemini, Discover, Maps, and new LLM-based experiences in Search.
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:
- Co-chair of the News DEI Championship program
- Member of the inaugural Leading for Liberation cohort (with The Adaway Group)
- 5x Engineering Residency host (with 100% full-time conversion rate)
- 5x summer intern mentor
