Top SchoolHo Leung is a senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building and modernizing platform and service architectures, now driving infrastructure work at DigitalOcean from Vancouver.

Ho blends technical leadership (as a former team lead) with on-call incident response and post-mortem discipline, making him effective at both prevention and remediation.
