Serge Nevsky in Kansas City

I am a software engineer from Kansas City, currently at Meta working on the Instagram and Facebook apps, and on the more interesting problem of how engineers should work now that AI agents can do real engineering.

I was born in Russia and moved to Kansas City as a child. I began making websites at age seven for myself, ranging from artwork to webcomics to games, and hosting them on Geocities. In college I studied Mathematics, French and Philosophy, and lived in the terminal: essays in LaTeX, email in mutt, schoolwork in git.

I spent my early career across Kansas City startups and enterprises, leading teams, designing distributed systems, and teaching: I built an all-day distributed systems course that became required training for every engineering level at my company. In 2021 I joined Meta.

Then agents changed everything. I went all-in and built my own agent factory: a harness that manages the whole development lifecycle (idea, research, plan, implement, deploy) with a fleet of AI agents doing the heavy lifting at every phase. The result: one of the most productive engineers at Meta, shipping across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and internal tools on web and mobile.

I serve as an Agent Captain in my org, leading agent adoption across the organization, and I write about agent-native engineering. The best part of my job is the automation itself: every piece of busywork I hand to the fleet buys back time for the creative work of building products people love.

In my free time I play piano and stringed instruments, write and record music, snap photographs, and spend time with my wife, kids, family and friends.
