Steven Onorato is a production engineer with 9 years of experience building scalable APIs, automation, and mixed-reality production systems, currently working in Reality Labs at Meta. He brings deep systems expertise across servers and end-user devices, with a career history of designing robust REST-style APIs, cloud services, and device provisioning for consumer and IoT products. Steven has driven architecture and implementation at every layer—from low-level C/C++ platform work and embedded integrations to Java/Python backend services using Cassandra, Docker, and Kubernetes—while mentoring teams and promoting maintainable code. Notable achievements include co-architecting a Dropbox-style personal cloud, inventing remote wakeup and NAT traversal techniques that led to patents, and building access-control API gateways for multi-tenant compute clusters. Based in Cupertino, he pairs a pragmatically clean engineering style and strong documentation habits with a personal interest in family-friendly gaming and home automation.
