Software Engineering
I am a member of Meta’s Reliability Foundation (formerly known as Web Foundation), the team responsible for the overall reliability of the company’s business-critical product offerings. I tackle technical, operational, cultural, and organizational problems across the company, with a focus on infrastructure reliability.
I’ve been working at Meta since 2021. Previously, I worked at Amazon from 2018 to 2021.
What Else?
I live with a human (cellist & music theorist) and three cats (not cellists or music theorists).
I am a mathematician by training, with a focus on harmonic analysis. I received my undergraduate education at Rutgers University and graduate education at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. I used to teach quite a bit, and I still enjoy thinking about how complex technical subjects can be learned and taught effectively.
A closely related interest of mine is expository writing on technical subjects for both general and specialist audiences alike. I studied public writing under Tunku Varadarajan at New York University, was a AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering fellow at the National Public Radio (NPR) Science Desk, and have written for New Scientist, NPR, Quanta Magazine, WIRED, and other publications. Most of my current writing is behind the corporate walls, but I occasionally write personal blog posts here on this website.
