Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVihan B is a software engineer based in New York with a decade of experience spanning embedded systems, security, and product-focused development. He combines low-level systems expertise with full‑stack and iOS development—while admitting that react-router remains a personal nemesis—bringing practical judgment from both frontend product roles and backend engineering. Vihan has contributed to high-impact open-source work on apple/swift-collections, implementing B‑Tree deletions, cursor types, and SortedSet/Dictionary APIs that improve Swift’s core data structures. His background includes internships and security work at Apple, HFT exposure at Hudson River Trading, and current work on AI assistants at Jane Street, reflecting comfort across research, production, and performance-sensitive environments. As a former lead instructor for UC Berkeley’s web course and a product lead for a campus scheduling app used by tens of thousands, he blends technical depth with teaching and product instincts. Fiercely pragmatic, he tends to tackle correctness and algorithmic robustness in projects that sit at the intersection of systems and user-facing software.
