I've been a software engineer for about six years, at Meta, Dropbox, and Promenade. At Meta I led the first generative AI features on Marketplace listings. At Dropbox I owned the feature-flag service, which handled around 40 million requests per second. Promenade was a small company, so I did a bit of everything there, including embedded work on medical devices.
Most of my work has involved A/B testing in some way. I like to plan the experiment and the rollout while I'm still writing the code, so everyone agrees on what we're measuring before launch. My favorite projects have usually needed a lot of back-and-forth with PMs, designers, data scientists, and sometimes legal, and I'm comfortable being the engineer who keeps that moving.
I also care about the less visible parts of the job: good tests, keeping latency down, and on-call docs that someone else can actually follow.
