In various roles (from Engineer to VP), spinning up new tech/products/teams, and businesses. My teams built products for ads, search, cloud apps and enterprise, that made billions of $s in revenues, touched 100s of millions of users and 10s of millions of web publishers. I was lucky to work with special engineers+PMs helping start+scale AdSense, Dremel/BigQuery, sitemaps.org, Webmaster Central, Apps/Gmail, and Search Appliances (yup, those yellow/blue boxes). I also helped build Google's engineering centers from scratch at Kirkland/Seattle, Bangalore and Zurich, between 2004-2008.
