About

I'm working on innovative large scale distributed problems. In particular my team is designing the world's largest code search engine capable of indexing 100 millions of repositories and serving regular expression results within typically tens to hundreds of milliseconds. This is at least 100x larger and cost effective than all other code search engines I'm aware of.
