Summary
Nan Lin is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 11 years of experience applying high-performance numerical methods to real-world systems, now building production-grade software at Google. Trained as a theoretical and computational condensed-matter physicist (PhD, Columbia), she transitioned into financial and control software—shipping FX electronic trading systems at Bloomberg and control design automation at MathWorks—bringing deep expertise in C/C++ and Python alongside scientific tools like Mathematica and MATLAB. Her work sits at the intersection of numerical computing and quantitative finance, informed by coursework in stochastic processes, time series, and statistical inference. Comfortable across Windows, Linux, UNIX, and macOS, she bridges research-grade algorithms and scalable engineering, turning sophisticated models for strongly correlated electron systems into robust, maintainable code. Colleagues know her for translating complex math into production-ready solutions and for a quiet but persistent focus on numerical accuracy and performance.
