Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Xu is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of engineering experience and five focused on building 0-1 backend systems across data, API, and tooling layers. He has led small, cross-functional teams at Meta to ship privacy-first mapping and AR features used by millions and now brings that product-scale mindset to Hightouch. Patrick excels at turning ambiguous problems into robust, monitored systems, coordinating legal, design, and PM stakeholders to deliver without compromising stability. He favors data-driven decisions and continuous improvement, pairing hands-on backend design with mentorship and team-level ownership. Based in Redwood City, he’s as comfortable iterating on early-stage products as he is hardening services for global audiences.
