Hi, my name’s Mike Pinkowish, and I am, among other things, a User Interface Engineer experienced in PHP (and XHP!), JavaScript, Node.JS, CSS, Ruby, Python, SQL, HTML, and other web technologies, like Memcached.
I graduated Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in May 2011 Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and a minor in Economics. Outside of coursework, I was president of the RPI Ski & Snowboard Club for 2 consecutive years and revived club membership and trip participation. In 2007, I graduated from Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx, NY with a 3.98 GPA and distinguished with the Cardinal Bellarmine Award.
I was raised in the New York City suburbs, in Westchester County, NY. I worked on the front-end team at Time Inc. during summers 2007 and 2008. In summer 2009, I interned at Google on the Google Earth team in Mountain View, California. I returned to Google in summer 2010 as a User Experience Design intern at YouTube.
In fall 2010, I was a User Interface Engineering intern at Facebook, where I decided to join Facebook full-time as a User Interface Engineer.
