Top SchoolAlec Liang is a software engineer with eight years of experience, currently a Software Engineer II at GoLinks in Los Angeles where he earned the 2025 GoLinks Superstar recognition. He specializes in building scalable search and RAG systems—designing hybrid search, reranking, embeddings, and vector DB workflows—and led an indexer migration that scaled document indexing from tens of thousands to millions. Alec has integrated many enterprise sources (GitHub, Slack, Google Drive, HubSpot, PagerDuty, Airtable, Linear, Jira, Confluence, Coda) into search pipelines and cut Google Drive API usage by over 50% through pragmatic caching and backoff strategies. He improved observability with structured logging and CloudWatch, launched a public data ingestion API, and routinely pairs engineering work with customer support to prioritize impactful improvements. A UC Davis computer science graduate, he combines hands-on full-stack experience with a knack for aligning teams on practical ML/search tradeoffs—often surfacing hybrid approaches before they become standard practice.
