Top SchoolKim Leung is an engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling cloud-native infrastructure and platform teams, currently leading Infrastructure Foundations and Compute at Hex in New York.

Comfortable speaking publicly about culture and tech, they bring a background that uniquely pairs an MA in Bioethics and a BA in Mathematics with practical software craft from Fullstack Academy.
