Summary
Han Xiao is a Senior Engineer based in Seattle with 8 years of experience building full-stack systems using Java, Python, React, Spring, and AWS. He blends industry experience at Amazon and Carta with a strong research foundation—a PhD in Civil Engineering from UW–Madison and ongoing OMSCS studies at Georgia Tech—bringing rigorous simulation and data-analysis instincts to software problems. His background in structural modeling and experiment design informs a methodical approach to system reliability and performance tuning that isn’t obvious from a typical engineering resume. Comfortable across front-end and back-end stacks, he has delivered production services at scale while transitioning toward data science ambitions. Han’s career demonstrates a rare cross-disciplinary fluency: translating complex, physics-based research into pragmatic engineering solutions for cloud-native environments.
