About

Adrian Machado is a highly skilled Software Engineer at Facebook, with a passion for technology and a talent for both Web Frontend and Backend development. He is also proficient in Machine/Deep Learning and has been actively exploring this field lately. Adrian is a dedicated learner who is interested in a wide range of topics, including politics, world history, business, and fitness/nutrition. At Facebook, Adrian has been instrumental in rebuilding the offsite real-time event logging infrastructure, implementing the RPC, storage, distributed processing, privacy, and sessionization layers using GraphQL, GraphAPI, and RocksDB. He has also utilized Thrift to standardize event data typing, reducing log storage size by 40%. Adrian has applied sessionization logic to implement session TTLs, removing 100K+ stale sessions. Additionally, he has developed an event debug tool that allows engineers to understand how events are processed in real-time. Prior to his current role, Adrian worked as a Front End Engineer at Facebook, where he designed and developed the debugger and devtools for a new Javascript state management framework. He exposed the operations of the state management and event processing layers through a log-like UI and implemented linear time travel, allowing users to recreate any previous state of their application. Adrian also drove framework adoption by standardizing Flow types, creating module templates, developing a module generation script, and writing the tutorial. Adrian's education includes a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, which he completed in 2019. During his time at the university, he worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant, where he developed an MLP model to prune the results of rule-based defect detection tools, improving precision in detecting null-pointer defects by 40%, tested on 16 open source projects. Adrian's tech stack includes Software Engineer, Frontend, Backend, Deep Learning, Web, infra, Javascript, ui, and Research Scientist. With 3.53 years of relevant experience, Adrian is a valuable asset to any team he works with.
