Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDamian Ho is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently pursuing an MS in Computer Science at Stanford and based in New York. He has strong full-stack and cloud skills demonstrated by leading an eight-person team to migrate Autolab to AWS CloudFormation and improving its UX and security while patching CVEs. His internships at high-frequency trading firms and HFT-adjacent roles (Hudson River Trading, Jump Trading) reflect expertise in low-latency systems and exchange connectivity, while security-focused stints produced large-scale policy automation and CI/CD vulnerability scanning. Damian pairs systems-level engineering—benchmarked data structures and WireGuard performance tuning—with product-minded improvements like fast version switching and admin UX fixes in educational tooling. He’s equally comfortable shipping secure, scalable infrastructure and iterating on developer productivity via automation and AI-assisted workflows.
