Software Engineer Intern @ AMD | Computer Engineering @ NTU

Hi, I'm Jared Tan

Backend, Full-Stack & Systems Engineering • Singapore

I build backend systems, full-stack products, and automation that turn complex workflows and data into reliable software. My work also spans CI/CD, parallel computing, and quantitative research tooling.

About Me

Background

I'm a Computer Engineering undergraduate at NTU and a Software Engineer Intern at AMD, with experience across full-stack development, automation, data workflows, and engineering operations.

I turn ambiguous, data-heavy problems into practical software, from APIs and queue-backed services to analysis tools and reliable delivery pipelines.

My recent work spans Jenkins-based CI/CD, scalable engineering infrastructure, and parallel-computing projects using MPI, CUDA, and OpenMP.

Engineering Focus

Software engineering: I build end-to-end systems across APIs, databases, caching, asynchronous jobs, CI/CD, and responsive interfaces, with an emphasis on validation, testing, and maintainability.

Quantitative work: I use Python, data analysis, and financial models to structure market research, with a growing focus on time-series analysis, optimization, simulation, and backtesting.
