Software engineer / Roblox / Berkeley
Former Roblox engineer looking for a smaller team with more direct product impact.
I like building close to users, shipping fast, and having ownership over my work.
01 / About
Hi, I'm Eric. I worked on the App and Growth teams at Roblox, joining when there were 800 people and leaving at 2,500.
I loved the people I worked with, but I really want to work on something that's less complete. I want to work at a smaller company: closer to users, closer to product decisions, and closer to the consequences of what ships.
Lately I have been exploring AI agents for people building software (especially non-technical people), games, and some math projects.
02 / Roblox
I worked across the company as a client engineer.
Halved time-to-interactive by batching and removing network requests.
Added retry mechanisms at common failure points to improve platform startup stability.
Identified failure cases, redrew game join routes, and redesigned the loading screen.
Fixed notification-system issues and added in-game toasts for friend join and leave events.

04 / Education
Researched more performant DNA sequencing techniques for bulk analysis, including memory-efficient bloom filter work.
Built tooling to identify and label misinformation, including an annotator-consensus framework used in academic research.
