Uptycs (cloud security startup taking an osquery-like approach to securing your cloud infrastructure, SaaS accounts, containers, Kubernetes, and endpoints) is growing crazy fast. I’m focused on scaling engineering (hiring, eng culture, and infra). Looking to hire remote and Boston-local infra engineers, SRE, and product people with interest in cloud security. Company has an extremely impressive customer base, is well funded, and there's huge growth opportunities. More details in the post below.

I’m excited to announce that I’ve joined Uptycs.com, a ~50 person startup in Waltham. It’s an 4 year old company that’s built an awesome enterprise security analytics solution on top of Facebook open source (osquery, Presto, React) as well as a few non-FB Apache projects (Kafka, Docker, nginx, and more). It checks a bunch of the boxes I still had unchecked in my "stuff to learn on sabbatical" category, specifically how to build software for and to manage large cloud deployments on AWS, GCE, and Azure, as well as gives me an opportunity to take what I know about FB internal tools and learn how it maps onto the open source equivalents. I knew that pretty much any future job (unless I went to another FAANG) would be building in the cloud, not building cloud-hosting infra, so here’s my chance to nudge myself up the stack a bit and learn about current industry standard tools. Plus, it’s a startup, so I get to do a bit of everything, including having a brand new office to decorate!

Founded Facebook's Boston office, responsible for initial recruiting strategy, hiring decisions, project selection, cross-site coordination, manager and IC coaching, internal & external communications, and facilities planning as the site grew from 3 to 250. As as an IC and later engineering manager I contributed to teams working on:• Wi-Fi connectivity projects in developing markets• Distributed AI/ML job scheduling & execution for the data warehouse• Data protection through automatic detection of personally identifiable information in a data warehouse• Location infrastructure including spatial indexing, geo-location, geo-coding, and map rendering with HERE and OpenStreetMaps• Photos infrastructure work including compression, facial recognition, perceptual hashing, de-duplication, and reference counting• Tech lead on Timeline, designed the storage layer, data migrations, and fault tolerance for the profile page• MySQL internal engineering to maximize performance of InnoDB on high IO capacity flash cards
