Projects included: User Growth (new user experience optimization, e.g. add-a-friend dialog instead of a page, disabled ads for new users --> better long-term user retention and revenue) FB Japan Growth: on-site in Tokyo, found millions of users in the seat cushions, basically :) Social Plugins (e.g. improvements to Like button, Comments plugin) Groups - initial launch Graph API - initial launch Internal Analytics Tools (still used widely!) External Analytics Tools (FB Insights, Analytics for Apps) Partner Engineering (worked with Spotify, Ford, Microsoft, etc.)
