Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Tang is a technical lead manager with 11 years of experience who bridges data, ML, and cloud-native platform engineering, currently focusing on secure supply chains and OCI-backed control plane tooling at Upbound. He progressed from hands-on data engineering and MLOps—delivering 10x faster ETLs and cost-efficient pipelines—to leading products like Upbound Console and Marketplace that enable teams to build cloud platforms on the Kubernetes API. Known for coaching teams and improving developer experience, he blends pragmatic infrastructure choices (Spark, Beam, Kubernetes) with cost-conscious operations. Jason values open source and the control-plane ethos of Crossplane, helping builders consume cloud services on their own terms. Based in Oakville, Ontario, he pairs systems engineering rigor from Waterloo with a knack for reducing wasteful cloud spend and making complex distributed systems accessible. An amateur crossfitter, he brings the same discipline and incremental gains to engineering and team growth.
