This 2017 summer I’m having 3 awesome interns. From left: Taylor Jean-Jacques (Princeton), Alex Madera (UC Riverside), and Maya Jeyendran (Yale). Ping me if you are interested in our internship program, or have students with great coding skills.
Facebook Research profile
Thanks to the team for updating my FB Research profile! It’s here.
What I have been working on in Facebook
During the first weeks at Facebook, we get to work on a variety of projects across the company. I worked on Facebook virtual assistant M. Our progress has been reported by the press (The Verge, Recode, Wired, Fortune). I also worked on various things for Instagram.
Most recently, I’ve been working on creating new video experiences. We’ve rolled out the ability to stream videos from Facebook to your TV – through devices like Apple TV or Google Chromecast – so you have the option to enjoy your favorite videos on a bigger screen. I’ve been part of a 3-member squad responsible for shipping this on Android. You can read more in the press (Engadget, PCWorld).
Joining Facebook full-time!
I’m happy to officially share that I’m joining Facebook full-time as a Research Scientist!
New iOS game!
My wife and I were bored last few weeks, so we decided to do an iOS game. It’s about a hungry monkey that needs a lot of bananas. It’s for free on the App Store. Suitable for both adults and kids. Have fun!
