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.

A picture of me!
