Alex Cao is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, now building secure, scalable infrastructure at Meta from San Francisco. He has led end-to-end design and rollout of certificate-based SSH and mTLS across edge infrastructure, architected NetInfra RA services and EST/SCEP pipelines, and created multi-tier observability that uncovered previously undetected failures. Comfortable owning complex delivery with full backward compatibility, he also developed isolated dev/test environments to accelerate Network RA development without production risk.
