Production Engineer, Facebook

As a fullstack production engineer in the DC Systems team, I supported physical infrastructure projects. I built tools and services to help build, commission and operate Facebook datacenters. I worked in cross-functional partnership with teams of facilities and network engineers.

I worked on the frontend with React, GraphQL and Relay, and built Thrift services with Python and Node. I ran user research on site at DCs in EMEA and North America. I applied design thinking to the physical DC infrastructure space.

I founded and led a team of three engineers. I ran tech interviews, managed two summer interns, gave talks at internal summits and recruiting events. I maintained an open source library used by over 2 billion users.
