About Prashant Nema
With over 10 years of experience in performance engineering, I have a passion for optimizing, scaling, and managing large-scale distributed systems and data warehouses. My mission is to ensure that Meta\'s data infrastructure is efficient, reliable, and cost-effective, and that it supports the company\'s vision of connecting people and empowering communities. I bring a diverse perspective and expertise in Big Data technologies, such as Hadoop, HDFS, Presto, Hive, Spark, and ML, and I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions and drive business value.As a Performance & Capacity Engineer at Meta, I am responsible for optimizing the performance and capacity of the data warehouse, which handles hundreds of Exabytes of data and serves millions of queries per day. I use various tools and techniques, such as Scalability Testing, Dtrace, and Windows kernel programming, to analyze, troubleshoot, and improve the data warehouse operations. I also design and implement capacity planning models and strategies, to ensure that the data warehouse can meet the current and future demand, while minimizing the storage and compute costs. I have successfully completed multiple projects, such as reducing the query latency by 30%, increasing the storage efficiency by 40%, and forecasting the capacity needs for the next year.
