Summary
Tina Pham is a backend software engineer and Lehigh University junior studying Computer Science and Business with three years of hands-on experience building scalable systems. She has shipped reliability and storage-focused features at LinkedIn’s Espresso team and is joining LinkedIn again as an incoming SWE intern, with a concurrent role on Tesla’s Object Storage team. Tina leads multidisciplinary teams—most notably as Lead Software Engineer for Lehigh’s Space Initiative where she migrated a ROS-based robotics stack to ROS2 and Docker, slashing developer setup time from hours to minutes. Her internships span cloud-native security and automation at Chainguard, CBDC prototyping with Oracle Cloud, and performance-focused systems work at GlobalFoundries, showcasing fluency across C/C++, distributed systems, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Passionate about the “why” behind problems, she combines user-centered backend design with curiosity about economics and system-level tradeoffs. Based in Sunnyvale, she brings a pragmatic, research-minded approach to building reliable infrastructure and developer tooling.
