Murray Stokely

I joined Google in 2005 and spent my first two years working in the Site Reliability Engineering group for the production crawling and indexing system for web search. I have recently switched to a quantitative team working in a related area.

While at Google I've worked on the following projects:

  • Reliability and monitoring of the production web crawling system.
  • Two generations of long term public data archival projects.
  • Some internal tools for managing important data backups.
  • Summer of Code (In 2005, 2006, and 2007).

To help continue bringing in new talent, I have also been fairly involved in the engineering hiring process.

I received an M.Sc. in Mathematics and the Foundations of Computer Science from Oxford University, working with Joel Ouaknine in the area of Software Model Checking. Prior to joining Google I was deeply involved in the FreeBSD operating system, and was the primary release engineer for the FreeBSD 4.x releases.
