About this event

Ever wondered what it's like to build products used by millions at Meta and Apple in Silicon Valley? This is your chance to find out.

Developer Kaki's Meetup #15 features BinHong Lee, a Penang-born Malaysian software engineer based in the Bay Area with over a decade of experience building impactful technology at scale. BinHong has worked at both Apple and Meta, shipping features that millions rely on daily and creating tools that make developers' lives easier.

At Meta, BinHong built features across Account Access, Search, and Dating that drove over 12M monthly active users, handled critical incidents including a security exploit that earned Meta's highest-ever bug bounty, and created developer tools that saved his team 1,000+ engineering hours per year. At Apple, he enhanced Siri's Malay language experience. He also co-founded Humanity X Technologies and holds a patent in social media monitoring.

This isn't your regular meetup — it's an AMA fireside chat where you can dig into how world-class products are built and scaled, hear behind-the-scenes stories from a double-FAANG engineer, and ask the career tips and lessons you won't find in textbooks. Whether you're a developer, student, or just curious about life in Silicon Valley, come pick the brain of someone who's shipped major global products and leave inspired.
