Software engineer at Meta who shipped Instagram creator tools to 2 million creators and cut Facebook Groups load time by 28%.

At Meta, I built and launched an Instagram creator insights dashboard with React, Relay, GraphQL, and Hack. It reached 2 million creators in its first six weeks.

I also reworked Facebook Groups admin data fetching, reducing seven GraphQL queries to shared Relay fragments and cutting page load time by 28%. For Instagram scheduled posts, I designed the data model and Hack APIs on Meta’s MySQL/TAO storage layer.

Working with product and data science partners, I ran A/B tests for post scheduling; the winning variant lifted weekly scheduled posts by 12%. I also improved reliability with Jest coverage, feature-health monitoring, and rollout runbooks.

Before Meta, I shipped websites and web apps for small-business clients as a freelance web developer, including a booking system that raised completed bookings by 30%. Earlier, at Thermal Wave Imaging, Inc., I built SysCheckIR™, a C/C++ calibration tool for aerospace component testing.
