I worked on the CDN Team in the Traffic Org.

Specifically, my work involved making software to manage Facebook's globally distributed fleet load balancers. I have built tooling to support configuration development, automated cluster management lifecycle, creating testing tools to ensure that config changes don't cause failures, worked on modifying our configuration to a declarative approach, and have built a release engine for configs

I worked fullstack and handled deployment and operations for services. My work required building Web UIs in React for users to interact with the CDN, Python APIs to handle most backend logic, and have worked in C++17 and Lua to add changes to our load balancers
