Patrick Jennings is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and OS-level components for billions of users, most recently focused on scenegraph and sync at Figma. He led a fundamental rewrite of Dropbox’s sync engine to integrate with macOS FileProvider and previously worked on AR/VR OS core services and anti-abuse infrastructure at Meta and WhatsApp. Comfortable across systems, distributed sync, and runtime services, he brings startup grit from co-founding an IoT-enabled fitness app and early compiler tooling experience. Based in San Francisco and trained at Carnegie Mellon, he blends low-level OS knowledge with product-facing engineering to solve reliability and scale challenges that often sit between kernel boundaries and user workflows.
