Senior🎓
Top SchoolChia-chun Lin is a Member of Technical Staff with 9+ years of experience building high-performance distributed systems, storage platforms, and EDA tooling, currently working on a Raft-based strong consistency layer for object storage at Pure Storage. He brings deep systems-level expertise in modern C++, Python, and Go, with a track record of improving throughput and fault tolerance— from designing near-synchronous volumes and hardware abstraction for data recovery at Portworx to optimizing video inference memory footprints at Verkada. As a founding engineer at Taraxa he implemented a DAG-based blockchain and parallel transaction execution that achieved 1000+ TPS, demonstrating an ability to turn research-grade ideas into production-scale architectures. His PhD work at Princeton produced quantum circuit synthesis and fault-tolerant logic optimizations, reflecting a strong foundations-in-research background paired with practical engineering. Colleagues rely on him for incident leadership, customer-facing technical analysis, and formalizing architectural patterns that guide product decisions. Based in Campbell, CA, he combines a systems-first mindset with a penchant for measurable optimizations that yield real-world reliability and performance gains.
