I just ended an 8 year adventure as a Senior Engineer at Google. My most recent team was Magenta making music and art with Machine Learning; I built the majority of the user-and-model interactions, such as these ones. Here's the publications I was on during that time. In 2020 I also did a 6 month fellowship with the Trevor project, where I lead a team that worked on classifying suicidal ideation posts on a social media platform. Prior to 2018, I worked on Polymer, and was a big advocate for Web Components in both the open source and standards communities. I maintained and owned one of the first (and at the time, largest!) suite of custom elements. During this time I was also a member of the Emoji subcommittee, which is a career high 😃 . Before that, I used to work on Chrome. Do you know that little button that has appeared in top right corner of your browser? Yeah, I did that (but now it looks different. It's been 6+ years after all). Before that, in the prehistoric times, I worked in finance, despite not really understanding or caring about it. I have a masters in Computer Science from McGill University. I wrote a thesis on Reinforcement Learning, which you can read here, though I'm not sure why you would. I've recently started making more art and selling it on my online shop, which is something I've wanted to do all my life!
