Top SchoolAlex Knaust is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building consumer-facing mobile apps, backend services, and internal tooling at Amazon and Meta.

At Meta he continues to apply that product-focused, cross-functional engineering muscle across large-scale systems. With an M.S. in Computer Science and a strong quantitative background in mathematics, he blends rigorous algorithmic thinking and practical implementation. Colleagues would note his pattern of moving research-grade ideas into robust production services and his knack for simplifying complex end-to-end launches.
