De Sheng is a software engineer who joined Abnormal early 2021. He had previously worked in Credit Suisse as a development tooling and engineering experience engineer. In Abnormal, he spends his waking hours building up and scaling new products as a full stack engineer. Outside of work, he hikes and boulders for fun.
