Summary
Gavin Wong is a software engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with nine years of hands-on experience building full-stack systems, AI research prototypes, and developer-focused tooling. He has blended product-minded engineering across startups and big tech—contributing to retrieval and ingestion at Harvey, assistant-core work at Glean, and Central AI projects at Atlassian—while founding and scaling initiatives like Hemut and GeomHacks. His background spans applied ML and security research (published work on malware classification and GANs for intrusion detection) as well as production services using React/React Native, Node.js, AWS, and databases for real-time geo and telemetry applications. Comfortable toggling between research and product execution, he brings entrepreneurial initiative (co-founding community and hackathon efforts that secured substantial sponsorship) and a knack for turning experimental models into deployable systems. An economics-and-CS student mindset informs his interest in product management and startup strategy alongside deep technical delivery.
