The Book of Jones
Cooking, travel, and techno-babble
About Me
I'm a recent Berkeley grad working at Pinterest. In the computer world I'm most excited by machine learning and natural language processing (especially of the bayesian and unsupervised variety), low-level performance tricks, and cool hacks.
In the real world, I love to cook and travel.
I'm happily employed, but here's my resume, just in case.

Big wins: time-sensitive ranking, explanations on results, infinite scroll ui, integrated maps. Bad: ad relevance is not good at best.

Foursquare best nearby search is working incredibly well for me in Seattle. Yelp needs to really step up its browse experience to compete.

Foursquare release notes are a broken record. Oh, wow, a brand new explore feature that definitely hasn’t been there for a few years?

Wtf. The @ubersf driver who accepted my hail is now driving to the east bay, and it would cost me $10 to cancel.

It’s not possible to stream video anymore on my Comcast Internet in the mission. How the fuck is this happening in 2013.
