Mike Weng is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native and infrastructure systems across finance, cloud, and health-tech sectors, currently contributing to Citadel's research platform and ML efforts. He brings deep hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, Python, Java, and Terraform-style infrastructure-as-code, having implemented core Launchpad commands for GoogleCloudPlatform's Cloud Foundation Toolkit to automate GCP foundations. Previously he blended SRE and strategic cloud engineering at Citadel and Google, delivering scalable networking and parallel computing solutions. A Boston University MS in Computer Science anchors his technical rigor, and his career shows a pattern of moving from product-focused development leadership into high-scale infrastructure and machine learning platforms. Notably, he pairs low-level systems skills (C, Android) with cloud automation experience, enabling cross-layer problem solving from device to distributed backend.
