Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOscar Wong is a software engineer based in San Francisco with a decade of experience building scalable systems and user-facing features, currently contributing at Figma. His background spans high-impact internships across FAANG and major tech firms—WhatsApp, AWS, Microsoft, and Facebook—where he built fault-tolerant APIs, large-scale data integrity tooling, and bot-detection services. At Figma he progressed from intern to full-time engineer, with an unusual early specialization in emoji handling that underscores his attention to nuanced product details. He combines strong systems and full-stack chops (C/C++, Java/Kotlin, TypeScript, Node.js) with a history of shipping automation that reduces operational friction. Comfortable in both startup and enterprise environments, he also led competitive robotics software in school, demonstrating hands-on leadership and real-time control systems experience. Open to interesting opportunities, he brings a pragmatic focus on solving big problems while improving developer experience.
