Hi, I’m Lim Kok Liang.

About

Hi, I’m Lim Kok Liang. I’m a Backend Software Engineer on track to complete my BComp in Computer Science with a Second Major in Mathematics from the National University of Singapore in May 2026, and I’m available for full-time roles from June 2026. I’ve completed impactful internships at ByteDance and Anti Capital, where I built latency-sensitive, production-grade systems using Rust, Go, and Python, and I enjoy turning complex problems into robust, scalable software. I’m excited to contribute to high-performance teams building reliable services and data pipelines.

Backend Engineer Intern · Anti Capital – Systematic Trading Team (Nexus)Aug 2025 – Oct 2025 · 3 mos

Led the end-to-end development of a latency-sensitive crypto-trading system in Rust, including real-time market data ingestion via WebSocket for high-volume trading pairs, IPC-based data exchange between predictive models and the trading system to minimize latency, and the creation of a high-performance Rust monitoring library. Integrated QuestDB for fast time-series ingestion and Grafana for real-time visualization; implemented multi-threaded buffering to reduce operational overhead in latency-critical paths.

Backend Engineer Intern · Anti Capital – Nexus (Systematic Trading Team)May 2025 – Aug 2025 · 4 mos

Led end-to-end development of a latency-sensitive crypto-trading system in Rust for production-grade performance. Engineered real-time market data ingestion pipelines via WebSocket APIs for high-volume crypto trading pairs, achieving sub-millisecond latency for order book and trade data. Implemented inter-process communication using shared memory to connect predictive models with the trading system, reducing inference-to-execution delay. Built a high-performance Rust monitoring library to capture low-level error and latency metrics. Integrated QuestDB for ultra-fast time-series ingestion and Grafana for real-time visualization, enabling precise performance diagnosis. Employed multi-threaded buffering to minimize overhead in latency-critical operations.
