I was the lead product engineer that built and launched YC’s Work at a Startup platform, which has already helped 1,000+ people find jobs at YC startups! Work at a Startup is a free-to-use two sided marketplace where people looking for jobs at startups create a profile with info about what types of roles they are looking for. After that, you receive recommended job postings and can browse through the directory of all YC startups that are currently hiring. Reach out to founders directly for the ones you find interesting. Founders can also reach out to you if they think you’d be a good fit.

Besides Work at a Startup, I worked on many parts of the rest of YC’s surprisingly large software footprint. A lot goes in to managing thousands of portfolio companies and a community of tens of thousands of founders. Not to mention the Herculean efforts it takes to process and review startup applications to YC and the carefully choreographed (and now fully virtual) Demo Day that helps thousands of investors connect with and invest in YC startups.

As Tech Lead of the infrastructure team, I helped set the roadmap to ensure PlanGrid’s systems could continue to scale with our rapidly growing customer base. I personally worked on various projects ranging from more efficient Postgres access patterns and the introduction of transactions to ensure data consistency to a framework to manage asynchronous task queues and processing.

I worked on integrating the Crocodoc document viewing technology as the default viewer for documents stored in Box. Aside from that, helped build and launch the Box View API; the spiritual successor of Crocodoc's document viewing and embedding API which was sold as standalone product from the main Box offering. As a Staff Engineer, I regularly conducted interviews for backend engineering candidates.
