Top SchoolCheng Wang is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building algorithms and scalable systems across research labs and industry. He led core algorithm development for autonomous vehicle dispatch and on-demand ride-sharing at BestMile, then applied big-data mobility insights as a Senior Data Scientist at Swisscom before founding Alephium. His background blends deep theoretical training in mathematics and distributed computing with practical expertise in machine learning, Scala backend services, and operational research. Notably, his research produced the first linear-time random algorithm for asynchronous Byzantine agreement and earned a best-paper award for concurrent algorithms, signaling a rare mix of provable theory and production-grade engineering. Based in Lausanne, he prefers to marry theory with practice—programming, as he puts it, makes perfect.
