Summary
Brandon Ong is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years' experience building resilient robotics and cloud data infrastructure, currently shaping interoperability and data pipelines at Intrinsic. He combines deep hands-on expertise in C++ and Python with core ROS and Gazebo contributions—authored cross-repo ports and a ROS 2 runtime serialization feature—enabling large-scale robot fleets and petabyte-scale telemetry. Known for pragmatic systems thinking, he has reduced cloud costs via metric-driven autoscaling, engineered crash-resistant disk-persistence layers for on-prem workcells, and designed protobuf-to-ROS2 conversion tooling to unlock visualization and analysis. A multidisciplinary maker and musician who founded a successful board-game studio, he brings product instincts and rapid learning to complex robotics problems, plus real-world experience mentoring engineers and running multi-day onboarding workshops.
