Sebastian Schwartz is a Senior Engineer based in New York with nine years of experience building low-level systems in C, C++ and Rust, currently focused on ultra-low-latency trading infrastructure at Chicago Trading Company. He previously designed core OS services and ported LLDB for a microkernel-based AR/VR operating system at Meta Reality Labs, earning two promotions within his first year. Sebastian combines startup grit from co-founding Proton AI—where he built scalable ML pipelines and customer-facing APIs—with production-grade systems expertise from enterprise and research environments. He is comfortable across the stack from kernel internals to distributed data ingest and DevOps, and brings a rare mix of performance-first engineering and product sensibility informed by his Harvard CS background and business training. An understated strength is his history of shipping tooling and ports (e.g., debugger work) that enable developer productivity in novel runtime environments.
