Bio
James Lin
I have been blessed to know Shukan over a number of years - first as his teacher (back when he was in high school!), and later as his manager and as a mentor. During our time together at Level, Shukan quickly became a subject matter expert for some of our most complex systems. He demonstrated creativity and tenacity in tackling some of our thorniest problems, whether that was wrangling with complicated data ingestion, modeling, and reconciliation, or improving the performance of large, real-time distributed systems, or jumping in to help product teams think through new features and improvements. While there are so many positive characteristics I could mention for Shukan, I'll focus here on his curiosity and hunger for understanding. This most clearly manifests in his penchant for asking great questions, both technical questions as well as simply human questions. This aspect of Shukan is, and will continue to be, a major asset in any endeavor he takes on. I'm so proud of who Shukan is as a human being and how he's grown over these years, and I'm excited to see the impact Shukan will have in the future!

Shukan is an all-star performer throughout! Shukan interned at Goldman Sachs in the summer of 2018 and impressed the team with his commitment to deliver consistently. Because of his amazing interpersonal skills and diligence, Shukan coordinated and executed every task and managed to identify and contribute to key projects across teams. He was able to grasp new tools and technologies effortlessly and understand their role in the equity business. Shukan deserves and earns my highest recommendation.
