How Facebook Live Works: Meta Engineer Gokul Menon Takes us Backstage HackerRank Radio

Gokul Menon describes himself as an average nerd working in FAANG (or MANGA now), but we think he’s way above average - a HackerRank All Star. Since graduating from Rutgers University, he’s had a glitzy career with 9 years of development experience in the financial sector as Vice President at Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and later switching paths to become a Senior Software Engineer at Meta. He’s already spent two years at Meta, where he is a part of a small but mighty team responsible for keeping Facebook Live, alive and kicking.
