Top SchoolRobert Adkins is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building product-facing systems at Meta, currently on the Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team where he helped launch Audiobox, Meta’s foundation model for audio generation. He has a strong background in video and live-content platforms from multi-year work on Gaming Video, Live Video, and Reels within the Facebook app, blending research-driven features with production-quality engineering. His early work spans algorithm design, image processing, and networked systems from internships and R&D roles, supported by a dual Computer Science and Mathematics degree from the University of Maryland. Known for translating cutting-edge research into polished user experiences, he moves fluidly between prototyping research demos and hardening scalable services. Based in New York, he brings a balance of academic rigor (teaching-assistant experience in algorithms) and product delivery at scale. An understated strength is his comfort navigating both low-level algorithmic challenges and high-impact product launches.
