Brian Zeng is a software engineer with nine years of experience, currently at Meta building backend guidance systems for Ads Manager and previously on video creative tools. A Stanford MS student focused on computer networks, security, and operating systems, he combines low-level systems programming with practical backend engineering to ship scalable, high-performance code. His open-source contributions include stabilizing core numerical simulation software (SU2) by debugging segfaults and improving backend reliability, reflecting attention to correctness in complex codebases. He has a strong teaching and mentorship background from multiple roles at Stanford and earlier tutoring, and brings cross-domain experience from internships in cloud backup, accelerator diagnostics, and infrastructure for authoritative public information. Based in Seattle, he is motivated by collaborative projects that produce measurable social impact.
