Top SchoolBen Schmaltz is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable web platforms and migrating monoliths to service-based architectures, currently on the engineering team at Meta after a six-year senior role at Microsoft. He has a strong full-stack background—Python backend work (Pyramid), React frontend migrations, and large-scale analytics with Redshift and Tableau—paired with practical reliability engineering like caching (95% hit rate) that cut homepage loads by 70%.

Comfortable mentoring new hires and improving engineering processes, he brings a mix of hands-on delivery, data-driven decision making, and a track record of shipping traffic-critical systems.
