hi... _

my name is nick gavalas. i'm a software engineer at meta reddit meta a frontier ai lab* working on developer infrastructure.

i work on build, source control, and languages infra to help all of our engineers (productively) ship high quality software.

at meta, i led the devinfra quality org, with a focus on the future of our web infrastructure and scaling performance and reliability expertise across the company. prior to that, i worked directly on web performance and static resources for half a decade, and i touched hack and hhvm internals whenever i could. i secretly like programming languages and compilers and might write about them one day.

i currently live in new york oklahoma city, working fully remotely. i graduated from cornell university in 2015 with a b.a. in mathematics cum laude and a b.a. in computer science.

if you're wondering about the performance numbers in the bottom right, i'm keeping myself honest and not giving into the temptation of downloading a megabyte of js onto your computer. please do let me know if the site is slow or loads poorly, because i actually do care about that stuff.

if you want to get in touch with me, here are the social media links i'm sure you're after. if you want to email me, use the contact link at the top (or right here i guess).
