Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNetto Farah is an engineering leader with 15 years of experience building full-stack web platforms and developer-focused libraries from New York. He co-founded and served as CTO of Koala, and now contributes at Cursor while bringing deep production experience from multiple senior roles at Segment where he helped design analytics pipelines and middleware. A frequent open-source contributor, Netto played a significant role in Segment's analytics-next JavaScript library—implementing core event pipeline features and a flexible destination/source middleware system. He pairs hands-on implementation skills (front-end, back-end, GraphQL, ElasticSearch) with product-minded systems thinking honed at IFTTT and 8tracks. Colleagues rely on him to refactor complex codebases into extensible platforms and to improve documentation and examples that make tooling more usable. He blends startup grit with enterprise-scale engineering discipline, often surfacing usability improvements that aren’t obvious from code alone.
