At Facebook, he was part of a three-person team appointed to rebuild the software layer of the company's web-tier to support over one billion new users, building HHVM to improve PHP performance and co-authoring several patents in just-in-time compilation, dynamic programming languages, and runtime data structures. Drew is now focused on innovating with SingleStore's query compiler, aiming to make distributed SQL fast and improving the overall performance of applications.
