Summary
Jie Fan is a software engineer based in Cambridge, MA with 14 years of multidisciplinary experience spanning software, data analysis, and architecture. Currently at Google, Jie brings a rare blend of EECS graduate-level technical training from MIT and formal architectural and urbanism design backgrounds from Tongji and MIT, enabling a systems-minded approach to complex socio-technical problems. Past roles at MIT — including data analysis for sustainability, research in urban risk, and teaching data visualization — highlight strengths in turning messy urban and environmental data into actionable insights. Jie’s early career in architecture and photography informs a strong visual sensibility and user-centered perspective when crafting interfaces and data products. Comfortable moving between research, teaching, and production engineering, Jie excels at bridging academic rigor with pragmatic engineering delivery. Colleagues can expect a thoughtful engineer who combines spatial thinking with scalable software design.
