Timothy Washington
Senior Product Manager specializing in AI-powered products and responsible AI
“Mission-driven product and program leader who built WhatsApp’s talent inclusion infrastructure from scratch and later applied AI at Google to scale inclusive product evaluation across 25+ teams, including Gemini. Brings a rare mix of product systems thinking, human-centered AI judgment, and lived experience growing up in public housing that deeply informs their focus on equity, access, and accountable technology.”
Russell Wong
Senior Software Engineer specializing in large-scale backend reliability and media platforms
“Backend/data engineer with experience on large-scale consumer platforms (Google and Meta), building high-traffic Python microservices (REST/gRPC) on Kubernetes with strong reliability/observability practices. Delivered AWS container-based deployments with CI/CD and IaC, and built AWS Glue ETL pipelines on S3 with schema evolution and data quality controls; also has demonstrated SQL tuning impact (15% latency reduction) and incident ownership for batch pipelines.”
