Summary
👤
SeniorXilong Fan is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building large-scale backend systems and distributed data infrastructure. He focuses on next-generation NewSQL datastores, from global consensus protocols to core transactional components, and brings deep practical knowledge of ETL, streaming, and record linkage. At Cruise he applies this distributed-systems expertise to production-grade autonomous systems, and at Spokeo he owned massive data integration, cross-vendor matching, and infrastructure automation across Kafka, Zookeeper, Elasticsearch, and Redis. Trained with a CS BS and an MS from USC, he blends research-minded curiosity with hands-on engineering, often extending language runtimes and in-house frameworks to parallelize and automate complex jobs. Notably, his background reflects both low-level systems work and large-scale data plumbing—a mix that suits building resilient, high-throughput NewSQL platforms.
