Summary
Stephen Hwang is a software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building resilient infrastructure, DevOps tooling, and backend systems for large-scale, cloud-native environments. Based in Mountain View, he has driven production launches—from a Prometheus-scraping billing service and a Kubernetes-backed load-balancer-as-a-service to automation in Backstage that cut setup time by 80%—while operating and automating the lifecycle of 100+ bare-metal clusters. Comfortable across Go, Terraform, Buildkite, GraphQL, and full-stack Vue.js/Go work, he blends low-level platform reliability with developer-focused UX improvements. His background includes designing CDC pipelines in GCP, distributed gRPC services, and pragmatic migrations that tripled availability for SaaS resources. A University of Waterloo CS graduate, Stephen pairs startup agility with enterprise-grade process and a knack for squeezing significant operational wins from automation and tooling.
