Application Architecture & Performance - making Rippling ⚡ fast and highly scalable

Enterprise Scaling Team in Core Infrastructure Area

I lead a large effort to expand Asana's data center offering and infrastructure to APAC for Enterprise data residency requirements. I worked with almost all of our infrastructure teams to ensure that this process would be easy, toil-free, and repeatable for future infrastructure expansion efforts. Our team is now able to quickly launch new data centers without compromising stability or engineering velocity.

I lead multiple projects and worked with our largest Enterprise customers as part of a cross-functional effort to build Asana Enterprise Key Management. I helped design and ship Comprehensive Key Verification, Encrypted Attachments, and systems to automatically handle revoked keys.

I worked briefly on the Asana Microservices Framework, Service mesh and Envoy proxy. As Microservices Oncall lead I helped revamp our service metrics, dashboards, and define our uptime SLOs.

Outside of Program Work

* I built the Sorting Hat - our early career team matching tool

* I proposed an Engineering Rotation program for cross-pollination and IC growth that I helped implement as an Engineering Org Initiative

* I helped champion Terraform at Asana, identified and roadmapped key Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives.

Facebook Search Team

I worked on improving spelling correction using phonetics and unsupervised ML methods for search.

I was an undergraduate research assistant at the Statistical and Visual Computing Lab at UCSD. I joined the Plankton Imaging project advised by Dr. Nuno Vasconcelos.

The goal of the project was to be able to determine the family of a given several hundreds of images of a plankton specimen. The caveat is that in such biological problems, there is not a diverse wealth of specimen for each taxonomic family of plankton. We are comparing the performance of various state of the art 3D object recognition models as applied to this 'low-shot learning' biological problem.
