Senior🎓
Top SchoolCheng-chin Chiang is a Senior Software Development Engineer with 11 years of experience applying scientific rigor to large-scale computing and software for astronomy and accelerator research. At Academia Sinica he led design and optimization of Lustre and BeeGFS deployments, built robust RAID-based server infrastructure, and implemented DevOps pipelines that improved availability and deployment velocity for HPC and visualization projects like CARTA. He codes across the stack—optimizing C++ backends for heavy data processing and crafting responsive TypeScript/React frontends—while maintaining the system-level skills to run and monitor clusters in production. Earlier roles in synchrotron facilities, hospital research, and industrial R&D gave him deep exposure to simulation, signal analysis, and safety-critical operations, making him comfortable at the intersection of research and engineering. He holds a PhD in Physics from National Taiwan University, which underpins a pragmatic, measurement-driven approach to solving performance and reliability challenges. Notably, he blends hands-on cluster administration with frontend UX work, a rare combination that helps translate complex datasets into usable research tools.
