Brian Xie

Hi! My name is Brian Xie, and I'm a software engineer at Plaid, where I interned summer 2020 and joined full-time in February 2021. I graduated from MIT in 2020 with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering. My primary academic interests include back-end software engineering, computer systems, and game theory.

I'm also a former semi-professional poker player, specializing in 6-max PLO cash. I'm also a big Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) enthusiast! I love food, cooking, and visiting restaurants. In IAP 2020, I did a beta-test of a pop-up restaurant in my suite, H31MP -- check it out if you're interested in learning more!
