Summary
👤
SeniorEvan Merz is an experienced, product-focused internal software engineer based in San Jose with a decade of hands-on experience building tools that drive ad sales and customer success at scale. He combines leadership and engineering chops—from directing web and API development at Diamond Foundry to shaping internal tooling at Meta—while equally comfortable writing code and guiding cross-functional teams. Evan has a strong track record improving performance and UX (cutting page load times by over 50% and meeting Core Web Vitals), leading internationalization and GDPR efforts, and migrating legacy storefronts to modern Next/React stacks. His background blends academic depth in computer and music technology (including PhD work in computer music) with pragmatic product delivery, and he often brings a creative, musical perspective to problem solving.
