Adeel Zafar is a Production Engineer based in London with eight years of experience building reliable, recoverable systems and shipping production-grade software. Currently at Meta he works on Disaster Recovery services that ensure backups and restores operate at scale for critical online resources. He has strong backend and systems experience, demonstrated by contributions to Facebook’s OpenBMC project where he expanded Redfish API routes and sensor endpoints, improving hardware management and test coverage. His background spans open-source development at GitHub and a Google Summer of Code internship that delivered offline book sharing to half a million users, reflecting a knack for resilient, user-focused engineering. Earlier entrepreneurial ventures—founding media and ad-publishing businesses as a teenager—show an unusual blend of technical depth and product growth instincts. He combines hands-on Python and systems work with practical experience in backup, recovery, and large-scale reliability engineering.
