Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGeorge Tong is a Tech Lead with 10 years of experience building resilient, high-impact systems at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, robotics, and applied software for climate and biotech. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he has led teams at Robinhood to cut load-related incidents by 75%, scaled reliability practices and load-testing frameworks, and drove integrations at Glacier that improved robot pick rates and uptime through both software and vendor-managed hardware upgrades. Now at Terradot he focuses on tooling to fight climate change, bringing a blend of infrastructure-as-code discipline, data pipeline engineering, and hands-on troubleshooting learned from production-critical roles. He is comfortable learning new domains and languages quickly (e.g., Codesys Structured Text for motor control) and favors pragmatic automation that reduces on-call toil while increasing system safety and observability.
