Aporia

Hey, I'm Felicity!

I'm a software engineer, but really, a serial generalist.

Presently exploring large-scale recommendation systems (RecSys) at Meta Inc.
I engineer for the TorchRec team, which is the open-source PyTorch domain library providing sparsity and parallism tools to optimize RecSys models on a distributed environment.

Previously dove into the Metaverse at Meta Reality Labs, engineering the Avatars SDK providing embodiment and self-representation for users across 3D and 2D platforms.
Graduated from undergrad at UC Berkeley in Computer Science.

With honors focused on sustainable tech and architecture deployed in urban environments.
While there, I applied technical research towards other disciplines:
- ML for Industrial Internet of Things sensor robots
- VR mindfulness experiences supported by biofeedback

Perpetually doing the things I love: running, doodling, reading, popcorn munching. I also love traveling, currently I am in San Francisco.

I'm inspired by, and I'm look for spaces to volunteer for:

Grassroots activism in uplifting and protecting marginlized communities
Research for humanitarian/ecological impact
Creative world-building - films, urban planning
