Emma Peng is a Software Engineer at Tecton, where she works on online storage features such as data freshness and low-latency lookups for customers using DynamoDB and Redis. She joined Tecton from a startup called Coolan, which was later acquired by Salesforce, after working in various roles including monitoring and analyzing hardware infrastructure and building healthcare case management systems. Emma values the sense of achievement and autonomy that comes with working at a startup, where she can contribute to high-impact projects and deliver without red tape. She finds it gratifying to explore different interests with her coworkers, who have diverse hobbies and passions outside of work, and appreciates the comfortable Tecton swag, including an autographed football and a Lululemon crewneck sweater. In her free time, Emma enjoys taking photos, capturing people's emotions, and using Google Photos to relive fun memories.
