Jalen Xing is a founder and software engineer with eight years of experience building product-focused engineering at the intersection of hiring, education, and early-stage investing in the Bay Area. Currently co-founder of Mocked (LeetCode for Product Managers) and a former founding engineer at Paraform, he combines hands-on product development with venture scouting experience from General Catalyst. Jalen has interned at major tech firms including Meta, AWS, Capital One, and Balyasny, and holds top-tier CS degrees from UIUC and UC Berkeley with near-perfect GPAs. He emphasizes maintainable, reusable code—captured in his GitHub mantra about refactoring and treating every line as a personal calling card—and brings a pragmatic, reuse-first engineering ethos to startups. Based in Cupertino, he’s equally comfortable shipping product features and evaluating technical teams for investment.
