Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZahan Malkani is an engineer with 14 years of experience building large-scale products in the Bay Area, currently at OpenAI after six years at Instagram and prior work across Facebook and research labs. He holds a BS in Physics and an MS in Computer Science from Stanford, a combination that informs a pragmatic, research-minded approach to system design and problem solving. Zahan has moved seamlessly between research and production roles—from MIT Media Lab and HP Labs internships to shipping features at top consumer platforms—so he’s comfortable turning experimental ideas into reliable, user-facing systems. Based in San Francisco, he keeps a personal website (zahanm.com) up to date as a window into his projects and technical interests. Colleagues describe him as quietly obsessive about polishing user experience and robustness, often tackling the non-obvious edge cases that make large systems durable.
