Welcome, you've reached the home page of Murray Stokely. I am currently a director at Facebook working on our compute and data storage infrastructure. Prior to Facebook, I worked on search and distributed storage at Google, and Maps at Apple. I completed an M.Sc. in Computer Science in the area of Software Model Checking at Oxford University and have spend time working on open-source software that helps me store, process, and understand large amounts of data, such as FreeBSD and R
