Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Chen is a software engineer based in Mountain View with 8 years of experience bridging high-energy experimental particle physics and scalable software development. He holds a PhD-focused trajectory from the University of Michigan and has shipped production features at Google while contributing C++ and data-analysis tooling for ATLAS experiments at CERN. His background blends hands-on detector hardware commissioning and lab management with ML-driven analysis—raising sensitivity and cutting regression uncertainty through Gradient Boosted Decision Trees and optimized curve fitting. Comfortable porting algorithms between Python and C++ for framework compatibility, he has reduced data-processing time and improved instrumentation pipelines across multiple national labs. At Google he applied his physics-informed engineering to mobile and assistant UX, including Android wearable features and robust E2E/AB testing. He brings a rare combination of experimental rigor, production software polish, and mentorship experience guiding students and cross-disciplinary teams.
