Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEmily Gu is a seasoned full stack engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable web UIs, backend APIs, telemetry systems, and cloud-native microservices from prototype to production. Based in California, she has delivered metrics-driven dashboard and workflow applications at Meta and led telemetry, database high-availability, and Redfish/GraphQL initiatives at Intel, while contributing to the open-source Snap telemetry framework. She blends front-end expertise (React, Relay) with deep backend and infra skills (Kubernetes, Docker, Postgres, Prometheus), enabling end-to-end ownership of performance, availability, and observability. Emily has a track record of shipping production-ready APIs and operator tooling, and she’s comfortable both improving developer workflows (CI/CD, Helm charts) and speaking about her work at conferences. Less obvious: she pairs hands-on plugin and CLI development for open-source telemetry with pragmatic operational engineering—making complex distributed systems easier to run and monitor.
