Summary
Patrick Wang is a software engineer based in San Francisco with nine years of experience building data and platform-focused systems. Currently working on Data Governance at Databricks, he has hands-on experience across access control, incident management, payments, and full‑stack product work from internships at Stripe, Ramp, Riot Games, and Amazon. A UC Berkeley EECS graduate and former CS 61A instructor, he pairs strong systems intuition with an ability to explain complex concepts and produce educational tooling. He gravitates toward low-level debugging and performance investigation—his GitHub motto, "When in doubt, open godbolt.org," hints at a habit of inspecting generated code to understand behavior. Comfortable in both research and production settings, he has applied cryptography, modeling, and ML expertise in earlier research roles. Patrick blends pragmatic engineering with a curiosity for how things work under the hood, making him effective at platform and governance challenges.
