I worked on the Profiles team for 3 years on Facebook to help users express themselves and connect & engage with others. Profiles attract over a billion monthly active users and it was a joy to build for such a large audience.
When I joined Facebook, the company was building out a new version of www.facebook.com called “Comet” and I got to help build this new version of Profile from the ground up!
Occasionally, I also built features for mSite (m.facebook.com) and the mobile app (iOS, Android).
💻 I helped build and improve a bunch of different Profile features, including:
- Profile Header (profile photos, cover photo, name, facepile alignment)
- Profile Banners (upsells, prompts, recommendation units)
- Action Bar (actions on a Profile like “Add to story” and “Edit profile”)
- Profile curation and editing (Featured Highlights collections, and more!)
- Profiles in Groups & Professional Profiles
- Logged Out Profiles
- Profile Frames campaign infrastructure → used for COVID-19 and Voting campaigns!
🎩 I wore a lot of hats:
- Intern Manager & Mentor, Rotational Engineer Mentor: mentoring and managing folks to succeed as early-mid career engineers.
- Profile Web Performance Lead: leading projects to make Profile load and respond faster.
- Profile Web Better Engineering Lead: making Profile infra better for the team and org.
- Profile Foundations Tech Lead: orchestrating the engineering team’s roadmap and leading project direction and execution.
- Part-Time PM/Designer/Data Scientist: writing product decision docs, design docs, and data analyses once in a while!
After three years, I decided it was time for something new!
