Senior🎓
Top SchoolGreg Lu is a seasoned engineering leader with 17 years building and scaling data-intensive platforms, currently serving as VP of Engineering at Swoop while based in San Diego. He joined multiple startups at their earliest stages—including Hopper and Swoop—and has repeatedly grown systems from prototype to production at hundreds of millions to billions of daily requests. A hands-on architect and operator, Greg blends data engineering, devops, and SRE skills across Spark/Databricks, Hadoop, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and distributed datastores, and champions automation and CI/CD to keep complex services reliable. He also has a history of community-facing technical work, having helped found HackReduce and built automated cluster management for hundreds of Hadoop nodes. Greg’s background in both systems administration (Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP) and modern web stacks (React, TypeScript, GraphQL) gives him rare full-stack credibility when guiding product and platform decisions.
