UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
Computer Science & Engineering
RESEARCH SEMINAR
SPEAKER: Corin Anderson, Google
TITLE: Web client development in Google Search
DATE: Wednesday, April 30, 2014
TIME: 3:30pm
PLACE: CSE403
ABSTRACT:
Web client development is a microcosm of software engineering where the
web browser is a virtual machine and where the best developers understand
memory management, networking, threading, graphics, and user behavior.
This environment is forgiving for simple tasks and supports sophisticated
applications from Search to Maps to Gmail. In this presentation I will
share several technical challenges in Web client development within Google
Search and argue that this is an ideal environment for well-rounded
software engineers.
BIO:
Corin Anderson is a Principal Engineer at Google working in search on
Visual Search Experience. This team is responsible for everything that
makes Google Search look and act like Google Search, from the instant
search-as-you-type feature to the excepts shown for each result and down
to minute but important visual design aspects.
Prior to Google, Corin studied at the University of Washington, earning
B.S. degrees in Math and Computer Science and Masters and Ph.D. degrees in
Computer Science.
