Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolXiaodong Du is a seasoned software engineer with eight years of experience based in Palo Alto and a long track record across enterprise and cloud platforms including Confluent, Samsung Research America, Symantec, and PayPal. He focuses on backend and cloud-native systems, particularly streaming, logging, and network proxy improvements—work reflected in contributions to the mosn/mosn project where he enhanced TCP proxy behavior and stream-level control. At Symantec he built streaming logs/metrics pipelines with Kafka, Storm, Elasticsearch and InfluxDB, and at Confluent he continues to apply that expertise to distributed data infrastructure. Known for tackling low-level networking and reliability bugs as well as higher-level streaming architectures, he blends deep systems knowledge with practical production experience. His GitHub motto, "Do not go gentle into that good night," hints at a persistent, iterative approach to engineering and continual improvement.
