Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Hou is a Founding Engineer based in Los Angeles with nine years of hands-on experience building low-latency systems, automated trading infrastructure, and machine learning research prototypes. Trained in Applied Mathematics at UCLA, he bridges rigorous theory (Wasserstein-related ML research) with practical systems work—from eBPF/XDP experiments and C++ performance engineering to production Postgres-backed services. He’s comfortable shipping end-to-end: adding servers and time-format robustness for trading platforms, then moving into stealth startup founding and early-stage architecture. Known for embracing hard problems while coding, Lucas pairs quantitative intuition with pragmatic engineering to iterate quickly in high-stakes environments.
