Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCheng Wang is a senior software engineer with a Ph.D. in Computer Science and a strong track record building large-scale data infrastructure and high-performance systems for Azure SQL/Synapse and Netflix. He blends academic research in compilers, programming models, and HPC with production experience in cloud storage engines, distributed databases (Cassandra), and massive data pipelines (Hadoop, Hive, Giraph). His Ph.D. work produced portable, high-performance tools for GPUs and heterogeneous systems—work that translated into industry collaborations with NVIDIA, Shell, and integration into production and benchmarking suites. Comfortable across compiler internals, GPU/CUDA programming, and cloud-scale storage, Cheng uniquely bridges low-level performance engineering with pragmatic product delivery. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, he enjoys working on teams that push both programmability and performance at cloud scale.
