Tim Lim Email & Phone Number

Tim Lim is a Software Engineer at Google. He is proficient in Chinese. Colleagues describe him as "Tim is a talented engineer with a keen eye for technical details who does not shy away from complex systems; as such, he was able, within a very short amount of time, to become a go-to, deep expert for multiple systems within the realm of YouTube notifications; he is polite yet direct about problems he sees and is truly a real pleasure to work with. He is quickly becoming a strong technical leader for teams. In short, and at the risk of sounding cliche, Tim should be an asset to any team and I recommend him wholeheartedly!", "After working with Tim for a few weeks I could already tell he was a top tier engineer. Google/YouTube can be a very challenging company to ramp up at because you need to learn a lot of domain knowledge on Google specific systems and tech. Tim handled this with ease and became productive very quickly. Beyond ramping up and delivering on high priority projects one of Tim’s strengths is being very smart and having key insights. He regularly realized and saw things that even I missed (and I’m a 10 year Google vet). I handed off the YouTube notifications iOS area to him and he quickly became an owner and ran well with his own ideas, projects and strategy. Anyone who works with Tim is in great hands. I’d work with him again in a heartbeat!", and "I do not exaggerate when I say that Tim is among a select few individuals that I have encountered during my career in both academia and industry. Over the past two years, it has been a pleasure to work with Tim as an engaged and articulate student, a creative researcher, and a diligent and thorough software engineer. He not only has the innate curiosity and discipline to seek out, assiduously digest, and ably employ new abstract concepts and ideas, but also has the pragmatic mindset to focus on using these tools to achieve concrete results. In recent projects, Tim was able to integrate successfully his knowledge of programming language theory and concepts, his grasp of topics in pure and applied mathematics, his hands-on familiarity with machine learning, and his experience with professional software engineering practices to make contributions to the development of novel libraries and prototypes. Tim will undoubtedly make substantial and potentially transformative contributions to any project in which he is involved."
