Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlan Yam is a multidisciplinary creative technologist with 8 years of experience building next-generation web and immersive experiences, currently at Google and researching machine learning applications at NYU Abu Dhabi. Trained at NYU Tisch ITP and NYU Tandon, he blends front-end mastery (Next.js, React, WebGL) with generative coding and accessible ML tooling to craft interfaces that are both visually striking and functionally robust. He has a track record of boosting engagement—e.g., portfolio builds that increased client traffic 500%—and has led redesigns for projects like ml5.js to make machine learning more approachable for artists and students. Beyond the browser, Alan prototypes spatial narratives and VR in Unreal Engine, bringing artistic processes into production-ready systems. Equally comfortable teaching and shipping, he has supported creative coding and ML courses while contributing interactive in-page editors and documentation improvements to open-source ecosystems.
