Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShoaib Meenai is a software engineer with 11 years of experience based in Menlo Park, currently at Meta and holding MS and BS degrees in Computer Science from UIUC. He blends systems-level C++ expertise with mobile and full-stack development, contributing to high-profile open-source projects such as React Native, LLVM/Clang/LLDB, Folly, and HHVM. His work shows a strong focus on portability, cross-platform compatibility, and debugging—ranging from Android keyboard and secure text fixes to low-level ABI, vtable, and unwind/stack-trace issues. He has also improved developer ergonomics and product UX by adding backend and UI features for PrairieLearn, demonstrating versatility across backend, frontend, and build systems. Colleagues rely on him to untangle subtle compiler and build problems that span architectures and toolchains, a skill reflected in fixes that consider compiler versions and platform-specific behavior.
