Summary
Chih-ching Chang is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable web applications and CI/CD systems, currently contributing at Meta in the Greater Seattle area. He has a strong front-end and full-stack background—modern React/TypeScript, GraphQL—and a track record of improving performance and developer velocity (e.g., halving build times and reducing ad-bidding operation time by 30% at Appier). He designed staging preview pipelines, automated deployments, and unified multiple apps and libraries using Yarn Workspaces and Lerna, demonstrating practical DevOps and architecture skills. His academic work in data visualization and research on encoder algorithms reflects a blend of user-facing design sensibility and rigorous algorithmic thinking. Comfortable both in production engineering at scale and in research-led prototyping, he brings measured curiosity and a habit of improving processes behind the scenes.
