Me, two designers, and a product manager built this from ground up in 2 weeks! And managed to not get scooped to by @testingcatalog 😈

.@jordan_vita , .@jonahesmith and I built an update to the @nytimes homepage that highlights and organizes news about the coronavirus. It remembers information you have read and emphasizes what you haven’t.

we started building this on monday of this week. no cheat codes. just long nights, dedicated colleagues, and leadership that doesn't get in the way. had a blast working with the inimitable @pklada, @ramanrmalik, and many others.

this weeks’s @PPLXfinance feature— live earnings call schedule + realtime transcription/analysis for Indian markets engineering and quality control on this one was non trivial. Lots of data to capture and present accurately.

my team at the @nytimes has been experimenting with the the bottom of the article page. starting today, some of you will see the homepage when you finish reading a story. let us know if you find this helpful!

I’m excited to share that I’ve accepted a position as a software developer at the New York Times. Could not have done it without my @WildcatTech fellowship at @DavidsonCollege and the steady mentorship of @kreshleman, @rclemmons, and many more.

Leaning into elections was a big bet for @perplexity_ai. We ensured accurate coverage by feeding our models live elections data from partners like @AP. The whole company also pitched in to stress test results.
