Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOhad Rau is a trader and Georgia Tech computer science student with nine years of hands-on software experience spanning systems programming, compilers, and quantitative finance. Currently at Jane Street, he blends low-latency trading instincts with deep engineering chops developed through internships at Google, Two Sigma, Citadel Securities, and a history of shipping production systems. His open-source contributions include nontrivial language and UI work—improving ReasonML's JSX semantics and enhancing the Revery native UI framework—showing fluency across OCaml/Reason, C++, and front-end rendering. As an undergraduate researcher he designed a linear type system for safe concurrency and presented the work at ECOOP, signaling a strong foundation in programming-language theory as well as practice. Earlier entrepreneurial work founding an edtech startup demonstrates product focus and measurable impact: major latency and throughput gains plus mobile apps and badge-scanning tools. Based in New York, he pairs rigorous formal thinking with pragmatic engineering to build reliable, high-performance systems.
