Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Wang is a pragmatic technology executive and CTO with eight years of formal experience and a deep, long-running background in cloud storage, databases, big data analytics and lakehouse architectures. He led mission-critical storage and video cloud platforms at Baidu—designing systems that supported exabytes and trillions of objects, co-founding the Apache Doris OLAP project, and building distributed file systems and streaming engines at massive scale. Now leading technology at VeloDB from Sunnyvale, he blends hands-on engineering with large-scale technical management, having overseen teams of hundreds. An Aliyun MVP and creator of SelectDB on GitHub, he pairs product- and architecture-level thinking with practical optimizations that saved petabytes of capacity. Known for turning research-grade distributed systems into production staples, he’s equally comfortable specifying strategic cloud roadmaps and diving into storage internals to squeeze out efficiency.
