Top SchoolNing Waikhom is a Staff Software Engineer based in New York with 12 years of experience building highly scalable full-stack and backend systems across startups and major tech companies. He has led and shipped zero-to-one products and large middleware platforms at Google — from GPay Offers that grew to 50M users to YouTube Commerce and Cloud Run control plane features — with a strong focus on microservices, performance, and data pipelines. Ning combines hands-on systems design (real-time encrypted coupon storage at 1M qps, large-scale Spanner optimizations) with technical leadership, mentoring multiple engineers and unifying cross-functional teams around accessible, experimentable solutions. He contributes to open source debugging and performance fixes (notably improving LoopBack datasource relation handling and query efficiency), reflecting a pragmatic commitment to reliability beyond proprietary systems. An advocate for readable code, API-driven development and testable frameworks, he also brings product sensibilities from working with PMs and UX to deliver measurable growth. Outside work he’s a Manhattan-based engineer who skis, cycles, swims and plays soccer — a sign of a team-oriented, persistence-driven problem solver.
