Top SchoolDavid Lai is a software engineer with nine years of experience blending electrical engineering roots and full-stack software development to build scalable backends, performant frontends, and secure infrastructure. Currently at Meta as a Software Engineer II, he has prior experience on payment systems at Panasonic Avionics and ML-focused work on Meta’s Facebook Assistant team, plus systems engineering on F/A-18 radar programs.
