Summary
Raj Patel is a Senior Software Engineer based in New York with nine years of experience building high-performance distributed systems and AI infrastructure. Currently at Meta, he focuses on Tier 0 compute and AI systems, bringing prior experience optimizing video ML pipelines and slashing memory and latency in production services. He has a strong background in tunneling, networking and infra reliability from BrowserStack, where he improved uptime prediction and led protocol and observability efforts. Raj combines research-rooted ML skills from internships and a Stony Brook MS with hands-on systems design, often translating prototypes into production at scale. Notably, he has delivered concrete resource and latency savings—memory reductions of ~33% and video encoder latency cuts of ~20%—that directly improve developer velocity and platform efficiency. Driven by curiosity, he bridges ML and distributed systems to solve bottlenecks across compute, data and edge connectivity.
