Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLeon Cai is a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with eight years of experience building scalable systems and production ML pipelines at Nike, now based in Portland, Oregon. He progressed from mobile and QA-focused internships into engineering roles that architected demand-forecasting launches and privacy-compliant account-deletion services. Comfortable across full-stack, mobile, and infra domains, Leon has repeatedly led high-impact projects—such as a web app for 20,000-employee intramural sign-ups and quarterly ML deployments predicting product demand 9–12 months out. He blends hands-on coding with operational ownership, shipping automated quality tooling early in his career for Nike’s SNKRS app and modernizing consumer-facing iOS experiences at Rakuten. A UT Austin computer science student and TXCS grad, he pairs academic rigor with practical delivery, often surfacing non-obvious reliability gains through automation and observability.
