Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVictor Zverovich is a seasoned C++ systems engineer with 14 years of experience modernizing large-scale backend codebases and build systems, currently titled "Software Overengineer" at Meta in San Francisco. He is the author of fmt and a key contributor to the C++20 std::format and C++23 std::print efforts, bringing practical formatting and binary-size optimizations to major projects. His open-source track record includes extensive contributions across Facebook’s networking, storage, and tooling stacks—proxygen, fbthrift, folly, mvfst and more—focused on dependency management, Thrift API migrations, and reducing complexity in builds. Victor combines deep academic training (PhD in Operational Research) with pragmatic engineering: he repeatedly replaces legacy formatting and refactors APIs to improve safety, compatibility, and maintainability. Notably, his work often targets subtle portability and build issues (modules, includes, CI environments) that quietly save teams significant maintenance effort. Based in the Bay Area, he blends low-level C++ expertise with a long history of cross-project influence in production systems.
