Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRudi Chen is a software engineer with 12 years of experience building high-performance, real-time features for collaborative design and architectural tools. He was a multi-area contributor at Figma—shipping multiplayer-first editor features, founding the prototyping team, authoring a secure third-party plugin runtime and helping build LiveGraph for real-time GraphQL-like data APIs—then moved to Arcol to apply that product and real-time expertise to the built environment. Comfortable across frontend (React/TypeScript), systems (C++), CI/infrastructure and API design, Rudi emphasizes operational stability and developer experience, often leaving projects “cleaner than he found them.” He pairs research-rooted problem solving from early academic work with internship experience at Dropbox, Jane Street and Airbnb, and has a knack for turning complex rendering and runtime challenges into performant, user-facing features.
