Top SchoolSherry Wong is a software engineer based in Singapore with nine years of experience building reliable developer tooling and front-end systems. She has been part of Meta since 2020, evolving from application and enterprise engineering into a software engineering role and serving as a maintainer on Meta's popular Lexical text editor framework.

Colleagues would describe her as a pragmatic engineer who balances user-facing polish with low-level reliability fixes.
