Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHuy Nguyen is a Staff Algorithm Engineer with nine years of experience building production optimization and routing systems for mobility and freight in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has led end-to-end design and productionization of large-scale solvers and ML-backed decision systems at startups and scale-ups—joining Flock Freight at Series A to architect core pooling engines and later delivering low-latency, cost-aware solvers for Uber’s B2B commute product. His background spans operations research research (PhD-level work on resilient supply chains and infrastructure restoration) to hands-on implementation in C#, Python, and production ML pipelines, enabling measurable gains in pooled revenue and utilization. Huy moves fluidly between research-grade algorithm design and pragmatic engineering for real-time fleets, and he has experience shaping product requirements, simulation frameworks, and patentable innovations. He is concurrently advancing his CS credentials via an MS at Georgia Tech while working full time, reflecting a commitment to continuous learning. A practical thinker who started as the sole algorithm scientist at a venture-stage startup, he’s skilled at turning ambiguous business needs into scalable constraint models and deployable systems.
