Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDiego Ongaro is a founder and engineer with eight years of professional software experience and a PhD/MS in Computer Science from Stanford, now based in Seattle. He has led technical efforts across startups and large companies—from architecting structured data at eBay to principal and founding engineering roles at HomeX, Juicebox Systems, and his current company Atomix. Diego blends deep systems and infrastructure expertise (including compute infrastructure at Salesforce) with hands-on product-building and consulting through his boutique firm, A Log Would Help. His career shows a pattern of joining early-stage efforts and scaling them into production, alongside periodic independent engineering work. A former eBay account holder on GitHub, he brings research-grade rigor to practical engineering problems and a predilection for building reliable, observable systems. Outside of titles, his trajectory suggests an appetite for founding-first roles and turning infrastructure thinking into customer-facing products.
