Site Reliability Engineer
I am a tech lead and manager on the site reliability engineering team supporting Google Care Studio. Care Studio software organizes health information data with medical record and electronic health record search features to help clinicians.
I love working as a team to achieve a larger goal. I also love knowing that my work has impact. People around the world rely on Google tools every day, thanks to the work of Google Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
-Reviewing and analyzing designs to ensure that they conform to best practices for reliability. -Responding to production outages. -Building tooling to help Google scale, and help Google's engineers maintain our systems.
I never coded before college. During my freshman year at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I took a little mini-course on programming in Python. I found that I really enjoyed it -- it was like solving puzzles! I decided to take more computer science courses, and ended up graduating with a dual Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science. I joined Google immediately after college. I've switched teams and roles several times, and after 10+ years, I'm still working for Google!
