Summary
Quentin Truong is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building high-scale distributed systems and cyber-security analytics, currently leading efforts at X, The Moonshot Factory to design next-generation infrastructure including lunar-scale power and sensing projects. He has deep experience at Google and Chronicle building petabyte-scale search, real-time detection engines, and optimized back-end pipelines that dramatically reduced RPC load and improved query performance. A generalist who appreciates interdisciplinary work, Quentin blends systems engineering, compilers, and applied ML—evident from his UCLA research on qubit readout and early robotics projects. He’s comfortable founding teams and shipping production-grade backends, and enjoys tackling problems that sit at the intersection of hardware, data, and software. Mountain View–based and self-described as “probably not a CS major” on GitHub, he brings a curious, humble mindset to moonshot-scale engineering.
