Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Gao is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building data-driven, cloud-native systems and scalable pipelines from startups to high-growth enterprises. He has led teams and core cloud efforts—most recently at Skydio—and previously architected real-time search, price-generation, and a 4 billion-offering OpenSearch indexing platform at Flexport. His background spans deep learning infrastructure for medical text, large-scale data lakes and automated repair tooling at Twitch, and founding a startup focused on cloud analytics for scientific instruments. Jack combines hands-on engineering with product-minded API design and operational rigor (k8s, Kafka, TPU tuning), and he’s comfortable driving both technical strategy and execution across distributed systems. Based in San Francisco, he pairs a Waterloo CS degree with business training and a track record of turning messy, high-volume data into reliable, production-ready systems.
