Benedict Gomes helped Google design a system for the "distributed crawling of hyperlinked documensts." Google find new pages by letting "robots" drag webpages all the time, cataloging their contents and making note of any newly linked pages and he is one among those engineers behind this. He is in charge of improving what you see when you Google. He is behind shaping the automatic suggestions users get as they begin typing a query, and the few lines of text and links they get back, which Google calls "the snippet." He proudly owns 66 patents.
