Summary
Q Cong is a software engineer with a decade of experience building user-facing systems, currently working on Google Search UI after contributing to Google Ads risk and fraud detection. He blends strong front-end skills (React, Dash/Plotly, Swift) with practical backend integration experience from internships and lab projects, shipping features like a parent portal for Learning A-Z and an interactive Webfoil airfoil design tool. As a graduate student and former GSI at University of Michigan, he coached large cohorts in core CS concepts, improving both his technical depth and communication skills. He has a track record of performance-oriented front-end work, including a 10x optimization of a lab web build process and responsive interfaces for research tools. Based in Chicago, he pairs academic rigor with product-focused engineering and a passion for technologies that positively impact communities. An unusual strength is his combination of design sensibility (minor in Art & Design) with production engineering, enabling polished, usable interfaces at scale.
