Top SchoolAaron Y is a software engineer with nine years of hands-on experience and an MS in Computer Science from UC San Diego, currently building systems at Databricks in San Francisco. He has a strong backend and data-processing background—optimizing gRPC endpoints, parallelizing database requests to cut latency by 20–40%, and working with PySpark, Trino, and HDFS for large-scale analytics. Aaron also brings mobile and full‑stack experience from LinkedIn and startups, shipping iOS features in Swift/Obj‑C and cross‑platform apps in Vue/TypeScript that interface with hardware over BLE. A seasoned TA in systems and data structures, he pairs practical production engineering with teaching experience, making him comfortable explaining low‑level concepts like pointers and ARM assembly. Colleagues can expect an engineer who moves fluidly between performance tuning, data pipelines, and user-facing product work while keeping an eye on measurable impact.
