Russell Wong is a seasoned software engineer and technology leader with 11 years of experience building scalable cloud-native systems and real-time products from MVP to enterprise scale. He has led engineering teams as CTO and co‑founder, notably architecting Remo.co’s video conference platform that reached $10M ARR and scaling teams and infrastructure on tight budgets. Russell combines hands-on implementation (single‑handedly shipping fast prototypes and core features) with pragmatic architecture decisions across AWS, Kubernetes, WebRTC, and distributed data stores. He has a track record of automating growth—designing in‑house clusters, auto-scaling task systems, and real‑time AI pipelines for events and marketing platforms. Based in Adelaide, he pairs analytic pattern-driven optimisation with a philosopher’s curiosity (as his GitHub motto hints), favoring solutions that avoid over‑engineering while enabling rapid product iteration.
