Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Tong is a full-stack software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-impact systems at The New York Times, Amazon, and fast-moving startups. He has a track record of shipping pragmatic automation and migration tools—most recently an AI-assisted XML→Go/YAML toolkit that accelerated paywall rule migration ~4x—and has driven paywall and experimentation integrations that directly protected and grew revenue. Comfortable across back-end, front-end, and data pipelines, Alex has improved latency, reduced tech debt, and enabled faster experimentation cadence across multiple product verticals. He also tutors engineers in data structures, algorithms, and system design, translating production experience into effective interview prep and coaching. Outside engineering he brings an uncommon blend of real-world sales, music production, and global travel experience that informs his product intuition and communication.
