Summary
Tony Jiang is a Member of Technical Staff and seasoned software engineer with a decade of experience designing and shipping complex systems across AI agents, distributed data platforms, devops, and real-time streaming. He has led teams as an engineering manager and principal engineer, owning large-scale telemetry and ETL infrastructures at companies like Sunrun, Uber ATG, and Hippo, and currently curates data for AI at DatologyAI while running his own consultancy building agentic applications and geospatial tools. Tony blends deep systems expertise (Kafka, Kinesis, Beam/Dataflow, BigQuery, Snowflake, Terraform) with hands-on full-stack delivery—from protobuf/gRPC services to React UIs and WebRTC video—and is comfortable taking on solo end-to-end projects. He has a track record of turning hackathon prototypes into production features (RAG chat apps, agentic meeting assistants, sales automation) and saving cost by replacing brittle integrations with modern data platforms. Based in San Francisco, he pairs academic breadth (MS CS, PhD-level history study) with entrepreneurial curiosity, often tackling problems that sit at the intersection of data, AI, and real-time systems. An avid builder, he’s as likely to implement a map animation with H3 and react-leaflet as architect a multi-team streaming pipeline.
