Senior🎓
Top SchoolHikaru Hotta is a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer at Meta with six years of experience building production systems that bridge machine learning research and scalable engineering. A Stanford MS/BS in Computer Science, he moved from graduate research—designing GAN-based augmentation pipelines for medical pathology—to shipping ML-driven features and performance-critical services at Apple, Mercari, and Meta. He has a track record of measurable impact, from a 26% camera lens performance gain via non-differentiable optimization tools to slashing feature-serving latency by up to 60% with a microservice for item embeddings. Comfortable across the stack, Hikaru blends deep ML expertise with pragmatic engineering to deliver production-ready systems and tooling that accelerate teams and reduce duplicated work.
