Software Engineer at Cisco
Bothell, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Wong is a pragmatic software engineer with roughly a decade of professional experience building high-performance web and cloud systems using Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, and C#. He has repeatedly driven large latency and duplicate-event reductions—examples include a 95% runtime cut and 80% fewer duplicate bug filings at Microsoft and a 90% API response improvement by eliminating Lambda cold starts. At Cisco he contributes to large-scale observability for Browser RUM, and his background spans API and microservice design, cloud migrations, ETL, and reusable UI components. He pairs hands-on optimization skills with team leadership—having led a 6-person team through production incident fixes—and a methodical approach to instrumentation and monitoring that reduces incident response time. A UW Bothell master's grad comfortable across front-end, back-end, and cloud-native tooling, Tom combines deep performance tuning instincts with pragmatic design for production reliability.
