Profiles on Facebook.com

I worked on the Profiles team for 3 years at Facebook (2019-2022)!

As 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…

☄️ Comet moved the website from XHP to a modern stack, using React and Relay/GraphQL.

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 working on:

Profile Header (profile photos, cover photo, name, facepile)

Profile Banners (upsells, prompts, recommendation units)

Action Bar (actions on a Profile like “Add to story” and “Edit profile”)

Profile curation (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.

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!
