At Arcol, we are aiming to build a modern, collaborative, and delightful architecture tool (as in buildings).

I worked on many different areas for which Figma is now known for.

• Developed multiplayer-first product features in the core design editor (React, C++). Founding member of the prototyping team. Wrote the v2 of our mobile renderer to be performant enough for interactive prototypes.

• Developed an innovative runtime to run third-party plugins securely with the CTO & two other engineers. Built a good portion of the initial API, wrote the launch version of our API docs and provided support to plugin developers.

• Frequent contributor to our frontend web infrastructure, including the integration test framework, TypeScript/React best practices, CI suite performance, offline data saving. I embody the "leave the campground cleaner than you found it" spirit.

• Initiated a lot of writing, both internal documentation and external blog posts.

• In my last two years, I worked on LiveGraph, our infrastructure and API for serving real-time data with GraphQL-like queries. A lot of the focus was on operational stability and working with product teams to port feature areas to LiveGraph.

Worked on Pyston, a Python JIT compiler. A focus area was on supporting finalizers and garbage collection performance.
