Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPeng Ying is a Head of Developer Experience with 14 years of product and engineering experience building APIs, platform services, and partner ecosystems from the ground up. Based in Cupertino, he transitioned from hands-on engineering at Google—where he scoped and scaled payments and wallet APIs and launched Android Wear developer tooling—into product leadership, owning API design, governance, docs, and onboarding playbooks. At Synctera he led core platform services like permissions, tenancy, identity, and webhooks, bringing APIs to market and supporting early customers; today he runs developer experience and partner programs at Lightspark. He combines deep technical fluency (including full-stack contributions to Android TV Leanback samples) with a product-first mindset that optimizes launch speed and developer conversion. Not obvious from titles: he repeatedly moved roles across engineering and PM ladders, saving engineering hours while turning complex payments plumbing into standardized, self-serve APIs.
