In the reliability space, I led technical efforts aiming at improving sovereignty, isolation, and at better informing existing and prospective customers about GCP reliability guarantees. | ||

GoogleX Project Glass (0 → 1) |
Jan 2012 - Dec 2013 | Mountain View, CA |
| Project Glass was born out of a research project in Google X. Over the course of roughly 3 years, software, hardware, reliability, and manufacturing teams were assembled to breathe life into a new class of consumer electronics (CE) device. I joined the effort as the 8th member of the software team, which had grown to 75 engineers by the time I transitioned out of the project after the launch of Glass V1. During that time I had the chance to contribute to the best live demo of all times 🔗, the launch of a developer API and SDK, and building an epic marketing campaign for the product. I also had the chance to learn valuable insights on CE manufacturing, marketing, and probably more than I wished to know about CE batteries. | ||
