Top SchoolSaoirse Maclachlan is a software engineer with a decade of experience building production-grade systems across privacy infrastructure, computer vision, simulation, and graphics. Currently at Facebook, she focuses on privacy infrastructure while previously modernizing embedded video analytics at VCA and developing complex driving simulators and AI systems at XPI using C++ and Python. Her background includes research-grade work on cloth simulation at Walt Disney Animation and a strong academic foundation with a double degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from Johns Hopkins.
