Donghao Qiu is a software engineer with nine years of experience, currently building infrastructure at Google from his base in Sunnyvale. He has strong academic foundations with degrees from Huazhong University, University of Birmingham, and an MS in Computer Science from Columbia, and has taught malware analysis and reverse engineering there. Donghao focuses on CI/CD, performance testing, and DevOps—contributing to the widely used grpc project by enhancing Kokoro runs, cluster configs, and BigQuery-based performance telemetry. He started in networking and NAS systems, where he refactored AAA logic and implemented in-memory DB interfaces, combining low-level systems thinking with production-grade automation. Known as a curious lifelong learner, he pairs rigorous engineering with practical improvements that make testing and deployment measurably more reliable.
