Top SchoolTin Chan is a senior software engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in C++ and large-scale 3D vision systems, currently advancing system-level tooling at Arm in Munich. He has driven performance-focused research and production work—from a TUM master’s thesis that sped bundle adjustment by 48% to deploying city-scale reconstruction and visual odometry improvements at Snap. Tin is a proven open-source contributor to the widely used Point Cloud Library, where his Google Summer of Code work refactored filters for 40% faster runtimes and added robust I/O fixes and documentation. Comfortable across research and industry, he blends low-level optimisation, multi-threaded algorithms, and practical product fixes for real-time and embedded contexts. Notably, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on system integration experience (CARLA/BARK co-simulation, Mobileye RSS), making him effective at turning cutting-edge vision research into deployable software.
