Houston, Texas, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHailey Ni is a Kafka-focused software engineer based in Houston with two years of industry experience building reliable distributed systems at Confluent. Her background blends a strong quantitative foundation—BS in Financial Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics from UCLA—with a CS master’s from Rice, enabling her to approach systems design with analytical rigor. She has full-stack product experience from a Meta internship where she designed and shipped an internal curation tool, connecting Hack/PHP backends and React/GraphQL frontends while iterating with end users. Earlier actuarial roles at AIG sharpened her data engineering, automation (Python, VBA, C++), and model-validation skills, so she brings both production engineering and measurement discipline to streaming platforms. Colleagues would note her uncommon combination of actuarial precision and hands-on software delivery across backend, frontend, and data tooling.
