WORK
AIRTABLE
I work at Airtable. Airtable enables companies to build complex software workflows without the need for software engineers.
ZULIP
Before that, I worked on Zulip, a fully open source, enterprise team chat platform. You can read more about why we built Zulip at Why Zulip.
I was the first employee of the company that stewards/monetizes Zulip, and was involved in nearly every part of the product and business. All of my technical work is public on GitHub, and many of my work-related conversations are public on the Zulip community server.
INTERNSHIPS
Before Zulip, I interned at Microsoft Research, Google Research, Upwork, Quora, and Dropbox in various research and data science roles.
RESEARCH
(2011–16)
My Ph.D. thesis was advised by Tim Roughgarden at Stanford, with Berkeley as a second home. My research centered around analysis of algorithms, and particularly those with a beyond worst case flavor. My masters thesis was advised by Piotr Indyk at MIT.
The introduction to my Ph.D. thesis is intended to be interesting and accessible to a general CS theory audience, and is probably the place to start. My academic CV is available here.
