I'm Jared Tan, a Computer Engineering undergraduate at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore and a Software Engineer Intern at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
I enjoy turning complicated workflows into useful software, and understanding what makes that software fast, reliable, and maintainable. My work spans backend APIs, full-stack applications, automation, and parallel computing with C++, OpenMP, MPI, and CUDA.
I'm interested in software engineering internships across backend, systems, and performance engineering, and in applying these skills to quantitative research tooling, market-data systems, and trading infrastructure.
