Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Hong is a machine learning analyst with six years of applied data and software experience, currently tackling Trust & Safety challenges for Google Cloud and AI products. He blends production ML, backend engineering, and test automation—contributing to prominent open-source projects like pygame and the popular osu! codebase—while building systems that detect abuse and protect infrastructure at scale. His background spans political tech and civic campaigns, where he used ML and analytics to direct millions in funding, win races, and reshape redistricting to increase representation. A Stanford MS in Computational Social Sciences and hands-on work across elections, campaigning, and game-engine tooling give him a rare mix of socio-political domain expertise and low-level engineering chops. Colleagues rely on him to translate messy social problems into measurable models and reliable code that drives real-world impact.
