Summary
Adam Sheldon is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of experience building data-driven products and full-stack applications, currently applied at Meta across metrics, desktop apps, and in-app payments. He blends a generalist's curiosity with deep data engineering chops—auditing core company metrics, shipping zero-to-one projects like Messenger Desktop, and integrating payment and attribution systems under tight timelines. Comfortable switching hats, he moves between Node/React front-ends, backend systems, and telemetry, and has a history of improving product quality through analytics and GAAP-aligned accounting work. Adam's background ranges from distributed build systems and containerization at HPE to big-data testing and MapReduce at Microsoft, and he often pairs hands-on engineering with mentoring and team-building. Based in Redmond, he enjoys high-ambiguity projects where he can "fish for" unique data insights and translate them into delightful user experiences.
