Simon Fong is a software engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack services and search infrastructure, currently improving data location and search systems at Google. He has a strong background in systems and storage engineering from roles at Roblox—where he led large data migrations, built containerized onboarding tooling, and implemented safe self-service schema updates—and internships across cloud and robotics-focused teams. Comfortable in C++, Rust, Python, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), he bridges low-level performance work with developer tooling and CI automation. He holds a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from UC San Diego and has taught large online IoT courses that reached tens of thousands of learners. Known for turning multi-week processes into minutes and enabling teams to test services locally, he favors pragmatic, production-first solutions. Based in San Diego, he pairs an interest in robotics with practical experience shipping large-scale storage and search improvements.
