Hi There! I’m Joey Pinto!
My world revolves around Tech, Music, Poetry and Mental Health! I do not have any credentials for most of these but I love them regardless.
I hail from Mumbai, India, and presently reside in Mountain View, California.
This blog is a collection of my articles, poetry, and random stuff about me that I would like people to know.
Currently, I’m an Engineering Manager at Meta Platforms Inc. Menlo Park Headquarters. I was a student at Carnegie Mellon University, Silicon Valley, and got my Master’s Degree in Software Engineering there.
Tech
I love to talk about Cloud Computing and Web Services. I really love designing systems. Converting an idea of a software product into a system design is by far the thing I love to do most. Read about my work
Music
I’m a musician. I play the piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, and bass (in that order of expertise) Music is a way for me to express myself without words. I play mostly by ear and love playing pop songs. I can’t read sheet music.
Hiking and Biking
Thanks to the COVID-19 lockdown I’ve taken to hiking where I can avoid too many people. I’ve always loved biking as a kid. I biked throughout my education, it’s just as natural as walking to me. I just can’t treat it as exercise…See more
I need energy for hikes so I’m a foodie…See more
Literature
I love writing, more than I like reading. I find poems that rhyme awesome. Khalil Gibran is my favorite poet. Journaling is my favorite past-time
Brain Science
I love exploring the human thought process, how the human brain works, and neuroscience.
