Summary
Dat Nguyen is a seasoned software engineer and engineering leader with nine years of experience building full-stack systems and leading teams across startups and large tech firms, currently contributing to Meta's Ads Experience team. He blends deep systems and graphics research (Ph.D. in Computer Science) with practical product delivery from his work on Amazon's streaming and device features to scalable financial workflow systems at Anduin.

He is equally at home writing low-level libraries (e.g., device communication at Amazon) and architecting customizable transaction platforms, and brings an uncommon combination of academic rigor and hands-on product impact.
