I build massive scale data and software platforms at Uber's Advanced Technologies Center. Email me if you're interested in talking about working here - [email protected] I'm formerly the VP of Engineering at Twitter in charge of Twitter's Platform -- that 450 person team is in charge of Twitter's core scaleable infrastructure as well as managing the software that powers the ecosystem. We built everything from the custom storage engines, to the compute / scheduling engines that ran in the datacenters, the core business logic of Twitter (the Tweet service, User service, Timeline service), to the APIs that power the third party ecosystem as well as the Twitter clients. I pride myself in motivating teams to work on projects that have never been done before, applying analytical skills, focusing on communication, and repeatedly delivering. My teams have historically worked on software that affect hundreds of millions of people, runs on tens of thousands of computers, is worked on by hundreds of engineers, and operates with budgets in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars. Previously, I was a co-founder in WattzOn.com -- which was named by Business Week as the "Best Idea"​ in 2008. I was the Author of "TiVo Hacks"​, published by O'Reilly in 2003, and used to teach at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program.
