Summary
Alex Jian is a Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of industry experience and a strong academic foundation in Data Science and Mathematics from the University of Michigan. He has moved from research and course assistance roles into applied ML and production engineering, including internships at SLB and MicroStrategy, a software/ML role at Leidos, and a current position at TikTok. Comfortable bridging theory and practice, he has worked on diverse models and algorithms and plans further specialization through a one-year CS master’s focused on ML/AI. Based in San Jose, he combines hands-on software engineering with data-driven research experience from the Strategic Reasoning Group. Colleagues describe him as someone who brings both pragmatism and curiosity to projects—his GitHub quip, “an old man who focus on coding,” hints at a quietly persistent, code-first work style. Open to internships and roles across ML and software development, he’s actively building toward scalable ML solutions in production environments.
