experience

Nov 2023 → Present Principal Software Engineer @ Runway.com

A few dozen employees building a better financial planning & analytics (FP&A) tool.

  • A few dozen employees building a better financial planning & analytics (FP&A) tool.
  • Joined at Seed stage (a16z) with zero revenue. Raised a ~30M Series A (Initialized, Garry Tan). Grew to ~50 employees, single-digit millions in ARR.
  • Stack: Golang, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Redis, Snowflake, Fivetran, Workato, Merge.dev. Projects include:
  • → (Lead) An OpenAI based AI Agent framework called Ari, which integrates with Runway-data via tool calls and scaffolded sessions (i.e. agents) to explain and build financial models.
  • → (Lead Architect, Implementation) PostgreSQL-backed, versioned datastore, with custom constraint triggers and optimized throughput. Included live, large-scale migration from previously bespoke datastore, to newly designed system. O(100M) rows.
  • → (Lead) An ETL integration pipeline consuming hundreds of sources of data into Runway's platform.
  • → (IC) A concurrent calculator, with corresponding formula AST and dependency graph.
  • → (IC) Scaling the platform through low level memory and compute optimization. Tuning of: Garbage Collection, JSON serialization, HTTP caching, struct allocation, compiler optimizations, lock contention, etc. Multiple double digit percentage latency & memory wins.
  • → (Lead) The General Reliability Effort, as designated Lead SRE via lack thereof a dedicated role. Node pool allocation, pod affinity tuning, green/blue implementations.
  • → (IC) A React-based multiplayer-capable frontend for fast display of high dimensional tabular data.

Nov 2014 → Nov 2023 Senior Software Engineer @ Google

Worked on the Google Drive and Double Click Ads Verification web stacks.

  • Lead of Google Drive's Web Client's Offline infrastructure - using Service Workers & Local Storage to make Drive (& Docs) work without a network.
  • Built AppsScript APIs allowing other applications (Google, third-party) to extend the Web Frontend.
  • Server-side rendered Drive Web to improve page load by 30%.
  • Led team of two engineers to rewrite the Double Click Verification application from a combination of GWT and AngularJS to AngularDart.
  • Left voluntarily, in good standing, to test my independence and give startups a shot (see above).

2010 → 2014 Software Engineer @ FactSet Research Systems Inc.

Real-time search & alert access to market data (news, quotes) via C++, Linux, Elasticsearch stack.

  • Built real-time search and alert access to market data via C++, Linux, Elasticsearch stack.
  • Implemented company-wide Python environment from scratch (i.e. no in-house Python support prior), including a build/integration system (via BuildBot, setuptools, pylint) and distribution mechanism (via internal PyPI server and PIP).

2023 → Present Machine Learning Experiments

A series of experiments building the canonical MNIST Neural Network, some toy RNNS and CNNS. Implemented from scratch, in C++, to test my understanding of the math; and in PyTorch, to learn the basics of its API. More detail at github.com/georgi0u/ml_experiments.

  • Built the canonical MNIST Neural Network, via Michael Nielsen’s Neural Networks & Deep Learning tutorial; as well as some toy RNNs & CNNs.
  • Implemented from scratch, in C++, to test my understanding of the math; and in pytorch, to learn the basics of its API.
  • Set up Anyscale/Ray.io to prototype productizing self-hosted ML infrastructure.
  • More detail at github.com/georgi0u/ml_experiments.
