Summary
Hantian Lin is an AI-focused software engineer and UC San Diego MSCS student with eight years of hands-on experience building interactive systems, data pipelines, and ML evaluation workflows. They’ve improved production data processing at State Street by designing a reversible Python pipeline that cut manual cleaning by up to 90% and sped runtime by 60%. At UCSD and the Qualcomm Institute they combined C++, Unreal Engine 5, and Blender to create VR and 3D game environments for neuroscience and climate-sim research, including automations that reduced experiment setup and rendering times by half and 70% respectively. Currently an AI Trainer specializing in image prompts and model evaluation, Hantian bridges human feedback with model improvement while exploring generative AI tooling from practical deployment and research angles. They also founded a rapid-growth student org (Triton Minecraft) and lead multi‑person lab projects, demonstrating a rare mix of technical depth, product-minded engineering, and community leadership. Seeking Summer 2026 internships and a full-time role after graduation, they enjoy tackling constrained problems where creative engineering unlocks measurable impact.
