Jake Wang is a software engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack and embedded systems, currently at Uber in the San Francisco Bay Area. He blends low-level C/C++ and OS/kernel work with high-performance backend systems in Go and TypeScript, and has a track record of improving developer productivity through build systems and tooling used by thousands of engineers. At Ford he modernized a proprietary builder—fixing memory leaks, adding offline mirrors and traceable build visualizations—while at Carnegie Mellon he architected a production-grade AI grading platform that cut manual grading time by 85% using RAG and LLM-driven feedback. Comfortable across cloud platforms and DevOps pipelines, he’s equally at home optimizing kernel behavior as he is designing scalable microservices and CI/CD automation. Colleagues would note his uncommon combination of embedded-systems rigor and practical AI-enabled developer tooling experience.
