Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Cheng is a Senior Product Manager with nine years of experience building infrastructure and cloud storage products, currently leading cluster infrastructure at Cerebras after shaping Azure Container Storage at Microsoft. He blends hands-on engineering roots from Amazon and entrepreneurship as a co-founder of a campus food delivery startup to translate technical complexity into pragmatic product decisions. Based in New York, he focuses on reliability, scale, and minimizing unexpected operational surprises—aptly captured by his GitHub motto to "prevent and create technological surprise." His background in business from Carnegie Mellon gives him a rare mix of technical fluency and commercial rigor, enabling tight cross-functional execution. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic connector who moves systems from prototype to production while keeping developer experience and operational predictability front and center.
