Headshot

My name is Sahand Saba. I am currently a senior software engineer at Google where I have worked on Search infrastructure, Ads serving infrastructure, as well making critical contributions that led to the launch of the V8 Runtime for AppScript. Previously I was a senior software engineer at Meta contributing to improving user experience in emerging markets, including a major project helping migrate Myanmar to Unicode. I also had short stints on Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Messenger video teams.

My master's degree was in theoretical computer science from the University of Victoria, with Dr. Frank Ruskey as my supervisor. My master's thesis was on the use of coroutines for combinatorial generation.

This blog is a hobby where I write about programming and mathematical problems, often related to topics I am teaching or learning. The posts feature code in Python, JavaScript, Java, or C++, and include problems from competitions like ACM ICPC or Putnam.
