Xiaolong Hong is a technology-driven CEO with 11 years of software engineering experience, leading X.Long Group from Shanghai while remaining hands-on in backend systems.

Based in Xuhui District, Shanghai, he balances product and engineering priorities to ship resilient infrastructure. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic programmer (self-described “🐺”) who still dives into upstream projects to influence production behavior.
