Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBinh Vo is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with eight years of industry experience and a strong research background in compression, storage, privacy, and anonymity. He has driven production gains at major tech companies—designing entropy and context-based compression tools at Google, building scalable ad systems and experiment platforms at Amazon, and delivering algorithms at Meta that promise ~20% storage savings for Ads data. At Meta and as a contributor to the widely used facebook/zstd project, he’s fixed decompression bugs, improved performance and cross-platform builds, and refined testing and documentation for a real-time compression algorithm. Comfortable moving between deep research and production engineering, he’s known for blending principled analysis (e.g., entropy-based diagnostics) with pragmatic system design and operational monitoring.
