Rick Huang

Research, engineer, iterate.

Hi, I'm Rick.

I'm a software engineer eager to architect products that define a new tomorrow.

I have a wide range of technical experiences, ranging from defining infrastructure to bring robots to life to building new connection lines between financial exchanges. My current interests revolve around building fundamental infrastructure to define the growing needs of data-heavy pipelines, as advances in computing and machine learning continue to redefine techology in the current age.

I graduated from MIT, winter of '18, majoring in Computer Science, minoring in Mathematics, and concentrating in Music. If you're familiar with MIT course numbers, this corresponds to a major in 6-3, minor in 18, and concentration in 21M.

There's a little bit more than pure professionalism here though. In my spare time, I play a bit of No Limit Texas Hold'em. I have a personal goal to mark 25 countries on my passport by 2030. Though I've mostly focused on weight training as my primary form of exercise, I've set a small personal goal to run a half marathon by 2022. I also play a couple of video games, including Teamfight Tactics and League of Legends.

Feel free to reach out for just about anything!
