Jerry Wei is a software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building core infrastructure and product-facing systems across top tech companies in the Bay Area, currently on Meta’s Core Growth team. A University of Waterloo Computer Science graduate, he has rotated through high-impact roles at Amazon, X, Census (Fivetran), and startups, blending backend, full-stack, and automation expertise. He has practical experience shipping reverse-ETL and profitability automation features as well as internal tools and platform services that scale. On the research side, he contributed as an ML engineer to a Nature Scientific Reports project implementing a sliding-window deep learning pipeline for histopathology classification, demonstrating applied ML and data-science chops beyond typical backend work. Based in Palo Alto, he balances rapid product delivery with careful model evaluation and hyperparameter tuning, making him comfortable at the intersection of production systems and machine learning.
