Andres Pico

Software Engineer @ Meta

Kirkland, Washington, United States

About

My work centers on building and evolving large-scale software systems that operate under real-world constraints: scale, complexity, and long-term ownership. What differentiates my work is an end-to-end perspective that blends engineering rigor with product judgment, leveraging my experience in product management to ensure systems are built with clear customer intent and long-term impact. I’ve contributed to foundational work on the Chromium Microsoft Edge browser, helping establish capabilities that later enabled it to become the most secure AI browser on Windows, with work highlighted by Microsoft’s CEO at Microsoft Ignite. I’ve also taken on broad, cross-organizational challenges, including the rejuvenation of Starbucks’ product and menu services—improving system boundaries, reliability, and how teams scale together. Today, I build platforms of exabyte scale at Meta, focused on solving hard technical problems, strengthening engineering culture, and delivering systems designed to support the future of human connection.
