Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHesam Setareh is a Senior Software Engineer based in Zurich with a decade of experience building scalable, production-grade distributed systems and machine learning pipelines using Java, Python, C++ and Scala. He has led technical design and implementation of cloud-native stream and batch processing services (Apache Flink and Spark) and driven ML solutions across industrial use cases from churn prediction to network-failure detection. With a PhD-trained background in computational neuroscience and signal analysis from EPFL, he brings strong algorithmic thinking and a research-minded approach to engineering problems. At Swisscom he advanced AutoML and large-scale data platforms, and he now applies that expertise at Meta, while continuing hands-on contributions to scientific open-source C++ projects like the NEST neural simulator. Colleagues value him for bridging multidisciplinary teams of engineers, data scientists and product stakeholders to deliver robust, production-ready systems.
