Hi, I’m Anthony Cheng, a Senior Software Engineer specializing in backend services, AI, cloud infrastructure, and system software. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree in Computer Science at Virginia Tech and researched in creative image generation, graduating this year.In my roles at Deep Sentinel Inc. and RealTek Inc., I focused on building and optimizing systems to enhance performance, reliability, and scalability. At Deep Sentinel, an AI start-up in California, I played a key role in developing distributed services, optimizing real-time data and video processing, and seamlessly integrating platforms to support the company’s security system. I collaborated closely with the AI team to streamline data pipelines, reducing false positives and managing large-scale real-time data from numerous devices. At RealTek, a global provider of networking solutions, I worked on improving system and network performance by developing lightweight databases and implementing high-speed messaging queues. This effort was part of an NB-IoT system that has been successfully deployed in smart home devices, improving connectivity and supporting the expansion of IoT ecosystems.
