My name is Sahand Saba. I am a Principal Member of Technical Staff (PMTS) at Salesforce, where I build agentic workflows, the infrastructure that powers them, and autonomous engineering systems. My recent work focuses on giving AI agents safe, reliable ways to understand complex software systems, make changes, and operate production infrastructure.
I joined Salesforce through its acquisition of Qualified, where I led two teams focused on infrastructure, platform engineering, and reliability. Previously I was a senior software engineer at Google where I worked on Search infrastructure, Ads serving infrastructure, and made critical contributions that led to the launch of the V8 Runtime for Apps Script. Before that, 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.
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.
