Summary
Yuguang Tong is a Staff Software Engineer based in Berkeley with 11 years of experience building large-scale ML and data infrastructure at Google, focused on ads systems, privacy-preserving ML, and agentic AI for CRM workflows. He combines deep technical chops from a PhD in Physics with product-aware engineering—delivering feature stores, backfills, privacy-safe APIs, and structured data retrieval systems that power production ad and agentic services. His work spans the full ML lifecycle, from differential privacy model training to high-throughput data collection and compliance optimizations. Early internships at Facebook and Google and research at Los Alamos reflect a consistent pattern of translating research-grade ideas into robust production systems. Notably, he blends a scientist’s rigor with pragmatic engineering to ship compliance-sensitive, performance-optimized infrastructure at scale.
