Tom Magrino is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with 13 years of experience focused on distributed systems, infrastructure, and secure programming languages. He holds a PhD and MS in Computer Science from Cornell and a BS in EECS from UC Berkeley, and has moved between academic research—working on distributed computing and security—and production-scale systems at Google. His background includes building high-level data processing abstractions during an internship at Facebook and co-teaching foundational CS courses at Berkeley, reflecting both deep theory and practical pedagogy. At Google he applies that research-first mindset to real-world infrastructure challenges, bringing rigorous thinking about correctness and security into large-scale system design. Notably, his career blends long-term academic inquiry with hands-on engineering at major tech firms, making him adept at turning formal ideas into production-ready services.
