Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Kwong is a seasoned software engineer and technology leader with 13+ years of industry experience and a multi-decade track record building trading, risk management, and large-scale web systems. He blends deep quantitative asset-management domain knowledge with hands-on engineering across Julia, Python, Java, R and C, and has production experience with AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and enterprise databases. Author of "Hands-on Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia," he brings both practitioner-level language expertise and a taste for teaching best practices. Tom has led engineering teams in startups and Fortune-scale organizations, shaping architecture and delivery for mission-critical systems from ad-tech to financial services. Now at Meta, he continues to apply cross-domain judgment—combining low-latency system design, cloud-native operations, and financial computing—to solve complex production problems. Based in Pasadena, he pairs academic foundations (MS/BS UCSB) with a pragmatic, results-oriented approach that favors re-architecting messy legacy systems into scalable, production-quality platforms.
