Top SchoolKevin Xiao is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack and back-end systems, currently based in San Francisco and working at Squint. He has a strong track record at ride-hailing platforms—multiple roles at Lyft and an internship at Uber—where he shipped internal search, roadmap tooling, and data-driven services to improve product transparency and operational decision-making. His background spans large-scale data pipelines, payments intelligence, and observability, with hands-on experience integrating Elasticsearch/Kibana, Kafka, Hive, and CI/CD tooling. A University of Waterloo computer engineering grad and longtime hardware/software enthusiast, Kevin combines pragmatic engineering with a passion for open-source and building tools that surface useful signals across complex systems. Notably, he repeatedly delivered cross-functional features that reduced latency or improved executive visibility rather than just isolated infrastructure improvements.
