Dropbox
https://www.linkedin.com/company/dropbox
I lead the Search and Retrieval engineering team at Dropbox. The Retrieval team is responsible for the core Dropbox product functionality - uploading and downloading content, browsing your files and searching across all your data - across Web, Desktop and Mobile. In the past year, some of our wins have included increasing file upload speeds by 4x, reducing page-load latencies by 70%, improving performance of some critical services by 4x-10x and increasing Dropbox search success metrics by over 10%. 

The team is currently focused on building best-in-class browse/search functionality in Dropbox and evolving the information architecture of cloud storage beyond the current confines of desktop file systems. By investing in machine-learning powered recommendation systems, we want to proactively surface the most relevant content to our users - starting with extracting meaning from your documents and expanding into answering questions and smart recommendations. Our goal is to eliminate the time you spend looking for content - so you can focus on getting your job done and staying in flow. 

If this sounds interesting, we're always looking for people who are passionate about technology, not for it's own sake but for the impact it can have on making our lives better - starting with how we can work more effectively day to day. Drop me a note if you want to be a part of this adventure!

Senior Engineering Manager
Familiar Inc.
Familiar was a (now shuttered) group photo and video sharing service built for families and close friends with Android, iOS, Web and native desktop applications. I was the first engineer at the company and I worked on all aspects of the Familiar product, including building the Android app from the ground up. My work spanned databases, backend infrastructure, API endpoints, photo and video processing pipeline and our mobile clients.

Principal Development Lead, Xbox Live
Microsoft
https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft
The cloud services team built the back-end services that enable file sync across the Windows Live Mesh desktop, mobile & mac clients. I was responsible for managing and providing technical guidance to a team of 10 developers that was completely responsible for all the Mesh backend infrastructure. This product eventually morphed into SkyDrive and then OneDrive.

Principal Development Lead, Windows Live Mesh cloud services
Microsoft
https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft
Principal Software Engineer - On the Microsoft Mesh team, I was responsible for multiple components of the Mesh cloud service, including the custom HTTP stack, file & metadata storage, directory lookups, shared DAL, database scalability & sharding, access control and the monitoring framework.

Senior Software Engineer - I worked on an early version of the SkyDrive (now OneDrive) file sharing and synchronization product. My work encompassed sharding the service across multiple frontends and redirecting clients to the correct frontend, partitioning metadata across hundreds of database servers and writing portions of the Win32 client code.

Software Engineer - At SQL Server I worked on many portions of the core SQL Server database engine. I was instrumental in rewriting the SQL parser for increased performance and to support new features from SQL-92 and SQL:99. I also wrote large portions of the algebrizer (which performed semantic validation on the relational algebra tree generated by the parser) and added distributed query support, allowing queries to be partitioned across hundreds of sharded SQL Server instances. I also spearheaded the effort to get SQL Server running on 64-bit processors including Itanium & Xeon.
