About Deep Kakadia

I am Software Engineer on the Meta Glasses team in Seattle, building scalable, high-impact systems that help ship user-facing product capabilities—reliably, securely, and at scale.Before Meta, I spent several years at Amazon across Sellers and Alexa Smart Home. I love turning ambiguous problems into platforms teams can build on: • Amazon Sellers: helped 3P sellers grow by expanding access to the 3P Appstore and service providers. • Alexa Smart Home: built core infrastructure to enable offline/localized smart home experiences, driving adoption from ~2% → ~37% through cross-team execution and clear goal-setting. • Led strategic integrations with IoT leaders Tuya and Philips, partnering directly with global teams to support millions of devices and expand ecosystem capabilities.I’m also big on leadership through leverage—hiring, onboarding, and mentoring interns and engineers across levels—while keeping a bias for ownership, crisp communication, and shipping results.If you’re building products at the intersection of infrastructure + real-world devices + customer impact, I’d love to connect.
