About Alireza K. Monfared
Currently, I am senior engineer in Android Video Playback space at Meta. I focus on optimizing the end-to-end video experience, including significant work on reducing playback start latency. I\'ve also been a key contributor in the strategic expansion of the AV1 codec on Android, resulting in over 75% coverage on our Focus Areas (FOAs), which has positively impacted both user experience and revenue generation.Previous to Meta, I was at Microsoft. My work in Microsoft focused on network security. In specific, I am the main developer working on the implementation of RPKI inside the Microsoft network which will result in securing BGP against malicious activity. This work is currently in deployment over the Microsoft network and affects all the incoming and outgoing traffic. Before this role, I worked in the host networking team on latency monitoring in data centres. I have driven two streams of work to develop and maintain applications for monitoring latency for specific inter-data centre communication protocols. I have worked with distributed systems as well as big data techniques to manage the volume of data collected from these applications. This work also involved an analysis of the data and deriving of insights based on them. Both applications are set to run E2E on more than 1M Azure hosts.Previously, I was a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science (CS) at Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech), Atlanta, GA. I worked with Mostafa Ammar and Ellen Zegura. I have received my BSc from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in June 2008.My interests are in data pipelines, broader-sense data analysis, challenges in various aspects of networking and video playback. I am also interested in multiple topics in the area of finance and economy.
