Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Gao is a software engineer with a decade of experience building reliable services and front-end systems, currently contributing to Google’s engineering efforts from New York. A UC Berkeley CS and Statistics double major with a 3.97 GPA, he blends rigorous probability and systems thinking to improve rollout safety, flaky-test diagnostics, and developer velocity. His internships at Google and Quora show a pattern of shipping both backend C++ services for safe API releases and React/GraphQL front-end components that scale across product surfaces. He has a track record of turning ambiguous production problems into automated tools and measurable improvements, such as an automated flaky-test log analyzer used by Cloud Console. Curious and playfully motivated (“just for fun” on GitHub), he pairs strong academic foundations with pragmatic, impact-driven engineering.
