Top SchoolNigel Chan is a senior software engineer at Meta with 11 years of experience and a strong background in full-stack development and systems architecture.

Nigel combines low-level rendering expertise (Three.js/WebGL and custom shaders) with backend optimizations that cut P95 API latency from 5s to under 500ms. He has a track record of improving developer experience in emerging platforms like VR and has repeatedly turned investigative tooling into production-grade applications. Based in Issaquah and educated at the University of Waterloo, he values both engineering craft and leadership growth.
