Top SchoolOwen Gong is an experienced software engineer and educator based in Berkeley with ten years of hands-on experience building cloud-backed systems and scaling course instruction. As Head Undergraduate Student Instructor for UC Berkeley EECS, he develops curricula and trains TAs for adaptive teaching methods while previously creating widely attended review sessions and multimedia content for CS 61A and CS 170. His internships at Amazon produced production-ready ingestion pipelines and catalog-enrichment services handling millions of titles using Spark, AWS, Kotlin/Scala, Java and Python, demonstrating both backend rigor and data-driven product thinking. Comfortable leading small engineering teams and mentoring large student cohorts, he combines practical system-building with pedagogy and a knack for translating complex algorithms into teachable content. Colleagues know him for shipping elegant proofs-of-concept—from recommendation features to automated daily workflows—while still finding time to be endorsed for basketball.
