Mobile + Frontend

I've been programming Android and iOS apps for 4+ years. More recently, I spent 2.5 years working on Android at Facebook and iOS + Android + React Native at Instagram. In May 2017, I left Instagram to be the mobile tech lead for a 7-person health tech startup working to create a mobile app that users can go to see their entire medical history.

ReactJS
Instagram - Mobile Engineer, Mobile Core Client Team
(April 2016 - May 2017)
  • I started the React Native integration effort at Instagram with one other engineer. The Instagram mobile apps went from zero React Native usage to a number of previous webviews converted to React Native with various product teams using it to build their newest features. This work was written into a blog post here.

    I also tech lead a project to build a system to monitor mobile app size regressions which is currently being used across the Facebook family of mobile apps, and reduced build times on Instagram for Android by 15+% through modularizing the codebase to increase build parallelization.
Facebook - Mobile Engineer, Local Team
(January 2015 - April 2016)
    • Built various components of the first Local feed on Android including the welcome header, photos unit, friend stories, and Spotify integration unit (demoed at F8 2015).
    • Improved scroll performance of Local feed on Android by 11.6% (as measured by reduction in time spent under max fps) by breaking apart feed units into smaller recyclable views.
    • Increased average user time spent from 22.1s to 24.7s by building and experimenting with multiple redesigned versions of the Local feed header and feed units on Android.
Hobbet (Columbia Startup Lab) - CTO and Cofounder
(September 2014 - November 2014)
I worked with two fellow Columbia University graduates at the Columbia Startup Lab on a startup working to create a mobile health management texting platform. We started with solving relationship health counseling for college students, but never got enough momentum or product market fit to take the project further.
