Kyle Schmidt

Data systems builder. 9 years at Meta building infrastructure that drives decisions at scale.

What I've built

  • Meaningful Social Interactions (MSI) — Created Facebook's core long-term engagement metric from scratch. Instrumented 15–20 features at 1.5B DAU, became the ranking signal for News Feed, Groups, and Notifications. Still in use today.
  • Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses Telemetry — Led the telemetry overhaul for hardware-constrained wearables. Coordinated 10 teams, launched 90+ days early. Metrics became the official weekly launch barometer.
  • Meta Infrastructure Planning Data — Own the data product behind Meta's $135B+ infrastructure planning function.

Background

Columbia University, Applied Math. Former US national rowing team athlete. Based in the Bay Area.
