Xilin Sun is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Jose with 11 years of experience building production software, currently advancing systems at NVIDIA after earlier engineering roles there. He brings a strong foundation in full-stack web development and data pipelines from consulting at Genentech and an academic background in industrial engineering and operations research from UC Berkeley. Xilin’s early open-source work—improving Debian on MIPSEL during Google Summer of Code—reflects a hands-on systems mindset and comfort shipping patches across distributed teams. He pairs machine learning experience from a UC Berkeley capstone on patent analysis with practical LAMP/JavaScript and Python toolchains to turn messy data into usable models and BI. Outside of work he’s the proud “Daddy of Husky Lucky,” hinting at steady, responsible stewardship both at home and in complex engineering projects.
