Summary
Duc Doan is a seasoned software engineer with 10 years of experience, currently building scalable backend infrastructure for Gemini and 1P model serving at Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. He combines deep hands-on expertise in backend systems, search, and data pipelines—having operated large Elasticsearch clusters, high-throughput indexing, and Airflow at Shopee—with an academic foundation from UPenn in Computer and Information Science. His experience spans cloud (AWS internships), large-scale ecommerce systems, and orchestration of model serving and indexing infra, giving him a strong cross-domain view of production ML and search platforms. He’s comfortable across the stack, from Go and Python backend services to React frontends and Spring/Mongo prototypes, and has built education-focused products for nonprofit users. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends Silicon Valley product engineering with a global education background (NTU, Lund exchange) and a persistent interest in data science that informs his backend design choices.
