Summary
Tao Feng is a Staff Front End Engineer based in San Francisco with 12 years of software engineering experience and a focused 4+ years building production-ready single page applications. He brings strong JavaScript/TypeScript and Ruby skills, a deep grasp of algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented design patterns, applied to high-scale consumer products like Amazon Mobile Shopping and OKX’s global payments checkout. Tao has moved from full-stack roles in OTT and streaming services to leading front-end efforts that prioritize performance, usability, and payment reliability across international markets. He combines rigorous academic training (MS in Computer Science from NYU and an MS/BE from UESTC) with hands-on delivery at both startups and large tech firms, often shaping merchant-facing experiences that reduce friction for end users. Less obvious: his background grading GPU architecture coursework and early research work suggests a strong low-level systems appreciation that informs his UI performance optimizations.
