Summary
Ben Mehlow is a software engineer and researcher with 13 years of experience focused on developer productivity, language design, and programming tools. At Meta he drives CI and developer experience improvements—securing release pipelines, scaling coverage collection, and automating detection and mitigation of test flakiness and infrastructure unreliability. His academic work at UC Berkeley covered domain-specific languages, IoT security, and numerical optimization, and he has taught compilers, software engineering, and automated grading systems. Ben excels at translating research into practical automation that helps engineers commit confidently and ship faster, often acting as an internal consultant to untangle tricky CI-exposed bugs. He brings a systems-minded approach informed by both industry-scale CI challenges and deep programming-languages research. Based in the Greater Kalamazoo Area, he combines experimental rigor with production-hardened tooling expertise.
