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.
What Else?
I live with a human (cellist) and three cats (not cellists).
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.
A closely related interest of mine is expository writing on technical subjects for both non-technical and expert audiences alike. I was a AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering fellow and have written for New Scientist, NPR, Quanta Magazine, and other publications. Most of my current writing is behind the corporate walls, but I occasionally write personal blog posts here on this website.
