Summary
Xiaoran Lin is a software engineer with nine years of experience focused on storage systems and low-level infrastructure, currently building at Databricks after multiple engineering roles at SingleStore. A CMU-trained ECE graduate who began in biomedical engineering, Xiaoran combines kernel- and filesystem-level experience from Huawei’s OpenEuler project with production database engineering at SingleStore. He has hands-on background in building developer-facing tests, integrating community patches, and creating resource-feedback mechanisms in large codebases. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he brings a practical knack for shipping reliable storage features and a persistent curiosity that led him to pivot from biomedical roots into systems software.
