Kanglan Tang is a software engineer at Google with five years of experience building reliable systems across C++, C, Python, and Java and a strong foundation from UC Berkeley (M.Eng.) and UC Irvine (B.S. Computer Science). At Google he focuses on cloud-native and CI/CD driven workflows, and his open-source DevOps work on TensorFlow—adding platform-specific test tags, Clang support, nightly TPU jobs, and NumPy 2.0 prep—reflects a knack for making large ML projects easier to build and test. His background spans full-stack development, operating systems, databases, and applied ML from prior internships and research, including retail forecasting with XGBoost and data engineering on AWS. Known for bridging research and production, he combines rigorous academic training with practical DevOps improvements that reduce friction in large-scale ML engineering.
