Adrian Chang is a Director of Engineering based in the San Francisco Bay Area with 14+ years of experience building and scaling data platforms, developer tools, and high-performance web experiences. He combines hands-on engineering with leadership—regularly contributing code while growing teams from solo contributors to double-digit engineering groups across startups and large companies. His work includes scaling data processing 10x to unlock new ARR, migrating 20+ pipelines to AWS to save millions annually, and improving web client performance by 20–30%. Adrian has repeatedly led platform modernizations that cut costs and setup time (one rebuild reduced dev setup from days to under an hour) and played a pivotal role in launching new revenue-driving products during acquisitions and company pivots. Comfortable operating at the intersection of product and infrastructure, he mentors engineers to promotion readiness and keeps a strong technical pulse even in executive roles.
