Chat with Ruchi Sanghvi
First female engineer at Facebook
About Ruchi Sanghvi
In 2005, while still a Stanford graduate student, Ruchi Sanghvi coded Facebook’s first News Feed prototype, not as a feature pitch, but as a quiet, urgent response to how information decayed in status updates. She shipped it without formal approval, knowing users needed real-time context amid growing network noise. Her architecture prioritized chronological fidelity over algorithmic curation, a design choice that shaped early social media’s relationship with time and attention. Later, as VP of Operations at Dropbox, she rebuilt engineering workflows around asynchronous collaboration, long before remote work was normalized, by embedding documentation, decision logs, and ownership maps directly into code review tools. Her leadership style is defined by what she *removes*: unnecessary meetings, opaque promotion criteria, and the myth that technical excellence requires relentless availability. She co-founded South Park Commons not as another incubator, but as a counterweight to venture-driven hype, funding engineers building infrastructure for climate resilience, open-source health data standards, and decentralized identity systems.
