New intern from University of Waterloo, Canada
Lunch selfie with my awesome Fall 2017 intern from Waterloo (Ellen Wang, second from the right) and okay-ish teammates 😀 Ellen is working on the Facebook TV app and our Android video player. She’s coming with a rich set of experience from 5 previous internships (2 at Amazon, 3 at various startups).
My Facebook summer interns
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.

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).
