Summary
Songkan Tang is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable backend and data systems, currently contributing to HBase and Spark OSS in AWS EMR. He has a strong foundation in computer vision and robotics from graduate research—hands-on work in 3D reconstruction, camera calibration, SLAM, and face recognition—that informs practical solutions for perception-driven products. At Amazon he helped refactor monolithic services into distributed systems and built cellularized CI/CD pipelines, and at Shopee he applied data modeling to supply chain and cross-dock inventory for Southeast Asia. Comfortable across C++, Java, and cloud-native stacks, he pairs fast learning and implementation with knowledge of non-linear optimization, probabilistic robotics, and databases. Based in Shanghai, he uniquely bridges academic vision research and production-grade distributed systems engineering.
