Implemented foundational security features for the bridge incl. an embedded Eth light client and continuous benchmarking.

Built service to relay events with security metadata from Ethereum to Polkadot.

This was technically complex work that required a deep understanding of blockchain fundamentals.

Collaborated with engineers spread across the globe (Berlin, Cape Town, Mexico

City, NYC, SF)

I spent the majority of my time at Facebook in the Privacy org, driving key initiatives on everything from GDPR readiness, data lifecycle across all Facebook products, to the handling and compliance elements of privacy incidents. During my time on the team, Facebook made a larger pivot towards privacy and data control and I was responsible for helping grow the team, and those on it, to meet this wider scope of responsibility. I drove foundational work to ensure end-user control over their data, across all Facebook products.

Some of my roles included:

* Team tech lead for a new team that focused on data access & lifecycle across all FB product areas. This was part of the larger org's goal around setting new industry standards for data stewardship by expanding end user access & control of their data.

This was a highly collaborative role that required recruiting partner teams to build key privacy features, as well as supporting teams (all FB teams that generate user data) integrating with our platform via tooling and design reviews.

The work was also deeply technical, involving implementing substantive novel privacy features, and work such as performance optimization of privacy checks (as these checks are hit numerous times per FB newsfeed load).

My work significantly expanded the platform that lets end users manage their data footprint on FB.

* Eng lead for company-critical GDPR "Right to Access" project

This was a highly cross-functional and collaborative role, that required understanding the data implications of most product teams at Facebook.

* Owning Facebook Lite app privacy

Facebook Lite is designed for feature phones and is used by 100s of millions of users daily.

Achieved feature parity between FBLite and first generation FB apps,

unlocking critical privacy features for poorly connected users for the first time.

This included fundamental controls like the ability to change privacy settings on posts, view ones Activity Log, etc.

During this time I worked on Ads for Emerging Markets.

Some of this work includes:

* Owned Slideshow video ads product

Implemented new ad creation flows

* Optimized ad ranking ML models w.r.t. video bitrate and client bandwidth

Extended ad ranking services for feature called "dynamic language optimization"

Improves ROI for advertisers targeting multi-language audiences
