Senior🎓
Top SchoolNitin Garg is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in video infrastructure, low-latency streaming, congestion control and real-time transport protocols. At Meta he led multiple 0-to-1 projects—including co-broadcasting features, migrating Live from TCP to QUIC, and deploying COPA/BBR/CUBIC for Facebook Live—and now builds teams and transport/codec stacks for volumetric real-time communications for AR/Metaverse. He is an active contributor to mvfst (Facebook’s QUIC implementation), adding pacing, COPA-specific congestion control tweaks, and telemetry hooks that bridge transport internals to application needs. Comfortable across client SDKs, server endpoints and large-scale distributed systems, he combines protocol-level rigor with product-focused delivery. Early founder experience running a large NGO and shipping top-grossing mobile games informs his cross-functional leadership and operational grit.
