My name is Taylor Stapleton. I was born in the Salt Lake City area and attended the University of Utah for my degree in Computer Science. With a few stops along the way, I am now a Software Engineer at Google living in Silicon Valley. I work in the area of advertising infrastructure at Google, specifically on systems related to preserving user privacy. On the side, I enjoy studying a long list of topics including economics, human behavior, longevity, city infrastructure, and travel. I also have a mild obsession with tall buildings and I am on a quest to visit all the world’s top skyscrapers. My girlfriend Leslie also works as a Software Engineer at Google on the Youtube Enforcement team. If I am lucky, I might be able to convince her to write a blog post or two for the site as well. Thanks for reading and please feel free to drop me a line in the comments!
