Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Chao is a software engineering manager focused on access and account security with eight years of experience building authentication and authorization systems at Gusto. He leads a team of six engineers to deliver ATO and authorization roadmaps while blending hands-on work in React, Rails, and TypeScript with security-first product thinking. Patrick previously drove Gusto’s 2FA program from intern projects to 90%+ adoption by owning frontend, backend, tooling, and operational improvements that improved reliability, observability, and cost. Comfortable shipping production systems and debugging thorny issues (his GitHub bio admits he’s “never out of bugs”), he balances pragmatic engineering with measurable security outcomes. Trained in economics/public policy at UC Berkeley and later retrained in software through App Academy and Udacity, he brings cross-disciplinary problem framing to secure product design.
