About Me
My background, passions, aspirations, and more.
Hi there!
My name is Tiger, and I'm a software engineer based in NYC working on core distributed systems infrastructure for Google Cloud Pub/Sub . Before joining Google, I worked briefly at Palantir and interned for multiple summers at Braze .
I'm also a proud alumnus of Brown University , where I served as the web team lead for the Critical Review , our official site for course & professor reviews used by thousands of students. I was also a TA for our distributed systems (CSCI 1380) , databases (CSCI 1270) , and data structures & algorithms (CSCI 0200) courses.
Outside of my academic and professional interests, you'll most likely find me playing violin in an orchestra or small ensemble , spinning around with some bboys , or playing pickup basketball on any court I can find. I also enjoy exploring NYC's culinary scene, photographing nature, and playing word games ranging from Word Hunt to anything on the New York Times Games site.

Want to discuss anything from my projects to my opinions on the NBA? I'd love to meet you — feel free to reach out at tiger.j540@gmail.com
