Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLester Tay is a software engineer based in San Francisco with eight years of experience building product-facing systems at large technology companies. He has held multiple engineering roles at Meta since 2022 and completed internships at TikTok, Shopee, Accenture, and Datavis, giving him a strong background in fast-paced, product-driven environments. A Nanyang Technological University computer science graduate, he brings practical experience across web and platform teams and a habit of iterating on visible product endpoints (he jokes about refreshing meta.com daily). Colleagues would describe him as pragmatic and curious, comfortable shipping features at scale while learning on the job—evidenced by internships that exposed him to diverse stacks and operational realities early in his career. He combines big-tech experience with the adaptability of someone who’s grown through successive internships into a full-time engineer in Silicon Valley.
