Summary
Chong Tan is a Senior Software Engineer based in California with 8 years of industry experience and a current MS in Computer Software Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. He builds full-stack, cloud-native systems and has shipped production services at companies ranging from Apple and Oracle to digital health startup Kodiak Sciences, often working across backend microservices, data pipelines, and modern front-end stacks. Proficient in Java, Python, Go, JavaScript, and Solidity, he pairs ML tooling (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Spark) with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker) to move models and services reliably into production. His background includes hands-on work in healthcare and digital advertising platforms, plus a CMU research project that applied gamification to student feedback—evidence of his interest in human-centered software. Comfortable in both startup and large-enterprise environments, he frequently bridges product needs and rigorous engineering practices to accelerate delivery.
