Senior🎓
Top SchoolFernando Silva is a seasoned software engineer with 28 years of experience, currently building scalable, efficient systems at Meta in London. He has led large infrastructure migrations—most notably replacing Elasticsearch for Meta's commerce platform—improving energy efficiency, correctness, and availability while reducing maintenance overhead. His background spans systems automation, lifecycle tooling, and high-throughput services (supporting clusters ingesting over a terabyte/sec), plus mobile ops and growth-focused platform work that produced multiple patents on notifications and contact management. Fernando combines hands-on engineering, project leadership, and operational excellence with a founder’s pragmatism from running a web agency and delivering enterprise software. He holds an MSc in Computer Science from Birkbeck and is motivated by building sustainable software that empowers communities and improves education and economic opportunity. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of redesigning instrumentation and on-call practices to improve developer experience across large teams.
