About Me


About my work: I'm a software developer in NYC. I specialize in applications of ML and AI!

I currently work as a senior engineer and tech lead at Meta. My current work focuses on solving practical privacy and security problems with language models, and building these solutions into systems that have been adoptded by dozens of teams. I care a lot about engineering craft and doing work with real practical value.

I've worked on a variety of projects, including:

  • CyberSecEval, an open-source evaluation framework for the security risks and capabilities of LLMs.
  • Creating the first ranking system for Instagram's feed recommendations product, which launched to 1B+ users in 2020.
  • Driver pay and incentives at Lyft, and bootstrapping Lyft Delivery.
  • Making ranking quality improvements to Facebook's core search product.

Personal stuff: I grew up in Ann Arbor, MI, and went to the University of Michigan for school in CS and Physics. I also lived in Seattle for about a year before moving to New York.

In my free time, I like to:

  • 📖   Read lots of books;
  • 🚶🏽   Walk around a lot (whether in a city or on a trip);
  • ☕   Maintain coffee and tea addictions;
  • ✈️   Travel to new places!
