Building and maintaining metrics
that matter — at scale.
Background
About
Data engineers build systems that make data trustworthy.
I studied Economics at UC Berkeley where
I learned the best data drives the most important decisions.
I've spent the last four years on Instagram's Ecosystems team rebuilding metrics that drive company decisions —
Time Spent, Sessions, DAU. When I arrived, our flagship metric was two days late almost every week.
We unified logging sources, parallelized jobs from Presto to Spark, and cut latency from >48 hours to
~16.
Good data engineering isn't about speed — it's about trust. The best systems are the ones
that quietly make other people's work easier.
