Eddie Huang is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building client-native C++ libraries and backend services, currently contributing to Google Photos' cross-platform editing stack. He combines systems and network-level expertise—demonstrated by packaging and proxy work on the Dragonfly project—with hands-on product development across mobile, NLP, and research settings. Past roles include shipping an NLP-driven SMS assistant at Epic and full-stack iOS work at Agrible, plus academic teaching and curriculum development at UIUC. Eddie’s work blends pragmatic engineering with user-focused product thinking, driven by a goal to create software that meaningfully improves people’s lives. Though modest about his coding, his track record shows strong competence in bridging low-level performance concerns with high-level product needs. Located in Mountain View, he pairs Silicon Valley product exposure with a rigorous CS background from UIUC.

Contributions summary:Eddie primarily contributed to the development of build and packaging scripts for the Dragonfly client. They created scripts for packaging the `dfdaemon` and `dfget` binaries into RPM and DEB packages, including scripts for post-install and pre-remove actions. They also added a transparent proxy feature, extending `dfdaemon`'s proxy mode to handle HTTP GET requests, including support for HTTPS CONNECT requests. These changes demonstrate a focus on system administration and network proxy functionality.
