Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJimmy Tang is a software engineer and former co-founder with 11 years of experience building data-driven products and security tooling across startups and larger firms from New York. He has deep hands-on expertise in big data, real-time analytics, and SaaS platforms—having built ETL, workflow, and admin systems using Python, C++, .NET, JavaScript, Spark, and AWS at Pyxis and earlier healthcare-focused startups. At Yelp he led application security efforts, designing detection and mitigation systems and managing bug bounty and auditing processes, and later helped integrate Pyxis capabilities into Bain’s alternative data portfolio. A curious generalist, he took a developer sabbatical at the Recurse Center to explore 3D graphics, compilers, and audio, reflecting a habit of learning new domains and languages. Comfortable shipping both infrastructure and product features, he combines entrepreneurial instincts with a disciplined SDLC and Agile background informed by a Math & CS degree from Northwestern.
