Hi, I'm Tal!

I am a Software Engineer at Pearl Health. Prior to joining Pearl, I worked for the NYC Department of Sanitation, where I developed citywide composting programs, managed data for an emergency food delivery program, and oversaw reporting of NYC's annual recycling statistics. I also attended the Recurse Center a little while back. It was awesome.

What I'm up to
  • 📖 I'm reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann.
  • 💰 I'm writing a Discord bot, called BetBot for keeping track of casual wagers between friends.
  • 🕶 I'm building a Chrome browser extension called Shades, which allows you to configure and apply semi-transparent colored overlays on different browser tabs, that persist while you navigate the web.
What I finished recently
  • 🐈 I built a browser extension called Catnip!, which improves your web browsing experience by showing you more cats.
  • 💬 I built Telephonish, AKA the classic game of Telephone translated over the web into stories, drawings, poems, and more. Built using React, Django for the backend, and websockets.
  • 💬 I built an emoji-centric chat application and game called GuessMoji, also using websockets.
