Top SchoolHua Cao is a software engineer with nine years of experience building and optimizing backend services across AWS, VMware, and Morningstar, now based in Palo Alto. He specializes in scalable RESTful architectures, asynchronous programming models, and performance tuning—at Morningstar he implemented an async model serving 20k+ users, cut web-request preprocessing from minutes to seconds, and improved QPS and latency through caching and long-polling.

He holds a Master's in Computer Science from NC State and a BE from Hunan University, blending international education with practical enterprise experience. Notably, he pairs deep backend engineering with a knack for pragmatic refactoring that preserves customer-facing performance during major architectural changes.
