Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarek Romanowicz is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building large-scale machine learning systems and production recommendation engines, currently leading an ML infrastructure team for Instagram Reels in New York. He progressed from hands-on software engineering to staff and managerial roles at Instagram/Facebook, shipping the original Reels recommendation algorithm and then scaling creators-first models across the family of apps. Marek pairs deep backend expertise (Go, distributed data pipelines, cloud deployments) with a product-minded approach to data generation, model training, and robust evaluation. His early career across startups and finance (Flux.io, Goldman Sachs) shaped a pragmatic grounding in system architecture, on-call reliability, and cross-team API compatibility.
