Work
This page showcases some of my main achievements, including my most impactful projects released during my time working at Meta either as a software engineer or as a software engineering manager.
In addition to these endeavours, during my career I have benefited from many open source projects. So, whenever I could I've contributed to their developement. Below you can find a list of the major projects I've worked on and some of those I built myself. All my contributions can be found via my GitHub profile.
Work Projects
WhatsApp Channels
WhatsApp Channels are a simple, reliable, and private way to receive important updates from people and organizations, right within WhatsApp. Channels are a one-way broadcast tool for admins to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls. This feature was announced by Mark Zuckerberg with a post on his Facebook profile and via the official WhatsApp blog. The news was also reported by CNBC, Reuters, TechCrunch, The Verge and many more.
WhatsApp Status updates
Status on WhatsApp is a popular way to share updates with friends and close contacts. Similar to Stories on Facebook and Instagram, every status disappears in 24 hours. A team I managed in WhatsApp, the "Status & Camera" team, developed a set of new features for Status: Status reactions, Voice Status, Status profile rings for new updates, and a new audience selector. This set of features was announced via the official WhatsApp blog and the Meta newsroom as well as being covered by TechCrunch and Yahoo! among others.
Workplace Automatic video captioning
Automatic video captioning was announced at Flow 2019. Using AI and machine learning, it allows companies to automatically add captions to videos uploaded to Workplace. Auto-captions was later voted by Workplace customers as their favorite announced feature. It was covered by press agencies like TechCrunch, FastCompany, and VentureBeat.

The Workplace Integrations Directory was announced at F8 2018. The integrations directory is a centralized channel to help Workplace customers find and enable all the integrations available. The project was covered by BusinessInsider, VentureBeat, ZDnet and many more.

File-sharing integrations were announced at F8 2017. We partenered with some of the world's leading enterprise cloud services to make it easier to share, preview and organize files, documents, and work with customer records. This project was reported by Forbes, Wired, and Mashable among others.
