Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKoby Chan is a Software Engineer with eight years of experience building programming language and code-generation infrastructure, currently contributing at Facebook/WhatsApp from Palo Alto. He combines industry-grade product delivery with deep academic research—his Stanford work produced formal semantics and a 57-page report used to analyze Spectre-class security vulnerabilities and inform secure compilation. At Facebook he shipped tooling for mobile ranking diagnostics and has a track record of accelerating projects (finishing a production debug tool four weeks early) and extending them with ML-facing features. Earlier internships spanned backend payment APIs at Visa, medical device firmware and mobile apps, and large-scale video analysis tools at Stanford HCI, reflecting a breadth across systems, embedded, and ML-adjacent engineering. He holds BS and MS degrees in Computer Science from Stanford and brings a researcher’s rigor to practical, shipped systems. Notably, his background blends low-level security semantics with hands-on product engineering, making him effective at turning formal ideas into production-quality tooling.
