Summary
Shasha Lin is a Senior Software Development Engineer specializing in data science and ML engineering with nine years of experience building AI systems for energy, finance, and e-commerce. Based in Cambridge, MA, she currently develops data science solutions for residential solar financing at NextEra Energy after reformulating MPC algorithms and productionizing EV fleet energy management features. She has a strong track record of improving product metrics (e.g., +30% click rate on recommendations at Klaviyo), scaling low-latency model training and serving pipelines, and instituting rigorous algorithm testing and incident response practices. Shasha blends academic rigor—a master’s in Data Science and Research Psychology from NYU—with cross-domain product experience, from conversational AI at IBM to large-scale recommendation experiments. She mentors junior engineers, leads knowledge-sharing initiatives, and brings a rare combination of research fluency and production-focused engineering. An interest in climate and energy is reflected in a Climate Change fellowship and work on distributed energy resource sizing and solar financing.
