I work at CITI Google Mixer Labs Twitter on distributed filesystems, OpenBSD, virtualization, window management, network management, WAN network optimization, cluster scheduling, geospatial database systems, RPC systems, RPC protocols, concurrent programming, systems programming, functional programming, systems profiling, and data systems.

“RPC Redux”

A preprint of my PLOS’13 paper, “Your Server as a Function”

Some recent talks

“Effective Scala” (video)
At Scala BASE on effective use of the Scala language through some recent work.
“Systems Programming at Twitter”
At Facebook about systems programming (mostly about Futures and Finagle) at Twitter.

Advice

Not mine (and better for it). These deserve yearly readings:

— Halmos’ essay on mathematical writing applies equally well to any sort of nonfiction.
— Hamming’s classic “You and your research” might as well have been called “you and your work.” There’s also a video of the actual talk.
—Strunk and White. Omit needless words! Omit needless words! Omit needless words!

Notes
