Summary
Hengchao (Derrick) Wang is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building backend systems for large-scale e-commerce and supply chain at Walmart Global Tech. He specializes in distributed systems and microservices, and has led optimizer and order management backend work using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka and RESTful APIs. His background includes applied ML and graph analytics from earlier roles—implementing NER with LSTM+CRF, BERT-based sentiment analysis, and Neo4j visualizations—bringing a data-driven perspective to backend engineering. Based in Seattle, he combines rigorous academic training (MS in Computer Science from UT Arlington) with hands-on production experience, often working at the intersection of systems engineering and operational optimization. Notably, he has moved between core OMS and last-mile optimizer domains, giving him a rare end-to-end view of order flow and delivery systems.
