Hi! I'm Rik, a software engineer based in Brooklyn, NY. I have over a decade of experience as a tech lead working in Big Tech including Amazon and Snap - from creating Digital Rights Management systems, to scaling computer vision-powered grocery stores, and now building Snapchat's high volume telemetry SDKs.
