Summary
Jason Cheng is a Software Engineer with eight years of experience focused on web and desktop applications, developer tooling (compilers, DAGs), and OS kernel work, now contributing to Java Foundation efforts at Uber. He brings hands-on systems expertise from internships at Wind River and a platform-focused stint at Recursion, plus grassroots product experience as a senior staffer at Daily Bruin. Based in San Jose and trained at UCLA in Computer Science, he pairs low-level engineering chops with practical product sensibilities. Academically curious about quantum computing, he explores algorithms, error correction, and simulation with the aim of moving into industry work in that space. Notably, his background spans both embedded real-time OS projects and higher-level developer tools, giving him a rare cross-stack perspective.
