He has co-designed\/implemented many generations of Google\u0026#39;s crawling, indexing, and query serving systems, and co-designed\/implemented major pieces of Google\u0026#39;s initial advertising and AdSense for Content systems. He is also a co-designer and co-implementor of Google\u0026#39;s distributed computing infrastructure, including the MapReduce, BigTable and Spanner systems, protocol buffers, the open-source TensorFlow system for machine learning, and a variety of internal and external libraries and developer tools.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJeff\u0026nbsp;received a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Washington in 1996, working with Craig Chambers on whole-program optimization techniques for object-oriented languages.\u0026nbsp; He received a B.S. in computer science \u0026amp; economics from the University of Minnesota in 1990.
