Summary
Po-cheng Pan is a software engineer specializing in site reliability and security with 11 years of experience building resilient backend systems. Currently at Google after a security-focused tenure at Verizon Media, he has delivered infrastructure like a TLS certificate manager and a host-based firewall/intrusion detection system that scaled across consumer-facing services. Trained at National Taiwan University and UT Austin in electrical engineering and computer science, he combines strong academic rigor (near‑perfect GPAs) with practical SRE expertise in Golang and Java. He brings a researcher's curiosity—early work on photographic aesthetics and quant research internships—into production engineering, favoring durable, auditable solutions (as his GitHub motto suggests, “The pain passes, but the code remains”). Based in San Jose, he focuses on secure, automated tooling that reduces operational toil while improving system reliability.
