RockstarPeter Chen is a Software Engineer II with six years of hands-on experience building high-performance systems, currently working on the XRP Ledger at Ripple after graduating from the University of Toronto in 2024. He specializes in C++ and Go, shipping optimizations such as cache layers that cut DB reads by thousands per second and tools to manage terabytes of historical ledger data. His background includes chip-timing and cache-size improvements at Huawei, demonstrating a knack for low-level performance tuning as well as production-grade server work. At Ripple he’s led next-gen API efforts, improved config parsing and added security guards, showing an ability to own full subsystems from design to deployment.
