Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTom Dror is a seasoned software engineer with 15 years of experience building scalable full-stack systems and leading engineering teams, currently at Meta. He has driven architecture and delivery improvements at startups and scale-ups alike—most recently designing a backend and monorepo workflow at Candid that cut new product release time by 95%. Comfortable across Python, React/TypeScript, Django, Node, and containerized CI/CD, he pairs hands-on implementation with mentorship and release strategy to improve testability and velocity. An active open-source contributor, he has contributed to ChakraCore (the open-source JavaScript engine) by implementing language features and test automation, reflecting a low-level interest in compilers and architecture. Based in Washington, D.C., he brings a curious, systems-oriented mindset (rooted in both CS and biology studies) and a proven track record of turning complex requirements into pragmatic, production-ready solutions.
