As a full-stack web engineer, I took half a dozen products from ideation to launching for over a billion people around the world. Projects include a new type of feed story for music, spatial audio processing in virtual reality, reacting to 3D scenes in 360 videos, and live video broadcasting.

As an intern, I designed and implemented the initial iteration of an infrastructure-level API for dynamically detecting device data connection quality and classifying the device into a "connection class". Once launched, I aided product managers and designers in using my API to adjust application behavior based on each individual user’s unique data resources. Data was analyzed from millions of test users resulting in increased engagement and lower device data usage.
