Work Experience

Backend Engineer Intern at Anti Capital – Systematic Trading Team (Nexus)
August 1, 2025 - October 16, 2025
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.
Software Engineer Intern at ByteDance Ltd. - Cloud Infra Team (Abase SRE)
April 1, 2025 - October 16, 2025
Led end-to-end migration of 5,000+ TB of production data across 150+ distributed NoSQL KV clusters (Abase1 → Abase2) with zero downtime; developed large-scale data migration strategies for complex data structures and high-throughput databases, addressing performance anomalies. Automated provisioning of virtual data centers across Abase clusters, significantly improving operational efficiency.
Backend Engineer Intern at ByteDance Ltd. - Cloud Infra Team (Biz Infra)
August 1, 2024 - October 16, 2025
Developed and maintained scalable Golang APIs for core platform services across multi-region deployments; ensured seamless integration of cloud order logging with ByteCloud services; built Cronjobs to filter entities from ByteCloud MLaaS, refactored Thrift-generated APIs into a central service router, and used Grafana/Argos for system health monitoring.
Full-stack Engineer at OurCodeLab LLP – Development Team
January 1, 2025 - October 16, 2025
Built full-stack web applications using React, Next.js, and MySQL; delivered features including a custom video conferencing UI and a backend system for ingesting and processing CSV records; designed RESTful APIs and managed production deployments with Docker and AWS EC2.
Backend Engineer Intern at Anti Capital – Nexus (Systematic Trading Team)
May 1, 2025 - August 1, 2025
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.
Full-stack Engineer at OurCodeLab LLP – Development Team
December 1, 2023 - January 1, 2025
Built full-stack web applications using React, Next.js, and MySQL, delivering features aligned with client requirements across multiple domains. Designed and delivered a custom video conferencing UI and a backend system for ingesting and processing CSV records. Designed RESTful APIs and managed production versions using Docker and AWS EC2.
Backend Engineer Intern at ByteDance Ltd. - Cloud Infra Team (Abase SRE)
