Tomoaki Tsuruta is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable systems for data-heavy products and AR platforms, currently contributing to AR development at Meta in New York. He has led cross-team initiatives and engineering teams to deliver foundational AR systems and location-based AR capabilities, drawing on prior senior roles at Instacart where he redesigned critical catalog pipelines and improved data accuracy and ingest performance. His background includes hands-on ownership across backend, pipelines, databases and browser UIs—evident from projects that reduced RDS costs by nearly half and replaced legacy search with RDS-backed streaming pipelines. Comfortable shipping end-to-end solutions, he pairs practical operational instincts with a daily coder’s curiosity and a track record of delivering ahead of schedule. An economics graduate with international exchange experience, he brings a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to complex engineering problems.
