Reporting to Richard Dachtera - Manager Corporate Engineering

Richard is the founding member of the Corporate Engineering team at Cockroach Labs. Over the last two and a half years he’s owned every aspect of the organization.

Before Cockroach Labs he spent five years at Dropbox as their founding Corporate Engineer hire in New York and then Seattle.

Isaac Wong - VP of Engineering

Isaac is responsible for the health of the engineering organization at Cockroach Labs. He partners closely with teams to ensure we have a balanced culture that promotes quality and innovation in pursuit of our goals. Before joining Cockroach Labs Isaac was in life sciences for 16 years with Medidata Solutions where he had a front row seat on the exciting ride from a 30 person startup to more than 2000 people worldwide. But the lure of distributed, resilient, and consistent SQL databases, along with the amazing technology and culture at Cockroach Labs proved too much. When not working he likes to draw, play the piano, and search NYC for cannoli's with his wife and kids.
