What is Google Shopping & How Does it Work?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi! I'm a software engineer at Google in Pittsburgh, working on algorithms for identifying products shown on Google Shopping.  I enjoy cooking, boxing, and composing/performing music. I'm looking forward to talking with you!

Here is a brief rundown of how I got to where I am:

Undergrad in computer science from Notre Dame ('09-'13)

Masters and PhD in computer science from NC State ('13-'18)

My dissertation was about algorithms to analyze large social networks

Some of my work was to write programs and run experiments, but I had a lot of time to think about math problems and write proofs about solving them

Started work at Google ('18-present)

I work on the Google Shopping, attempting to figure out which products sold online are the same and which are different.

I also got to spend 6 months working with Carnegie Mellon University on COVID case/death forecasting

I am happy to talk about these specific experiences or about tech/math/AI and how it affects your lives.

Please check out the videos and links here, and leave me your questions! I'll answer them when I see you in December!
