Summary
Heng Wang is a software engineer with 11 years of experience focused on cloud infrastructure and distributed systems, currently building scalable solutions at Microsoft in Seattle. He has hands-on expertise in low-level Windows agent development (C++) and cloud-native deployments, having pioneered Windows Agent deployment to AKS and implemented resilient heartbeat and retry mechanisms to reduce throttling and improve reliability. At Lacework he accelerated CI, doubled test coverage, and engineered log and live-dump tooling that saved costs by decommissioning stale VMs—demonstrating a blend of systems programming, automation, and cost-aware engineering. A Carnegie Mellon master’s graduate with additional ECE coursework from UIC, he brings a disciplined, research-informed approach to production systems and a knack for squeezing large debug artifacts into efficient, network-friendly chunks.
