Jerry Chen is a Senior Software Engineer at Bloomberg with eight years of experience designing and operating low-latency, secure distributed data platforms that move billions of market-data points daily. He builds AI-ready streaming infrastructure with Kafka and Flink, leading cross-team initiatives like enterprise TLS adoption and migrations from legacy C++03 pricing systems to modern Flink pipelines. His work on caching, sharding, and a distributed deduplication system has materially reduced load on latency-sensitive derivatives services and supported real-time enrichment for downstream AI models. Before industry, he researched runtime assurance for distributed intelligent controllers at Johns Hopkins, co-authoring an IEEE paper and a patent that demonstrate provably-safe switching between RL and fallback controllers. Comfortable spanning production engineering and applied research, he combines systems-level performance tuning with practical ML-safe infrastructure design. Based in New York, he brings a blend of rigorous academic depth and hands-on delivery in large-scale streaming systems.
