Summary
Alexander Yu is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience, currently building connected-vehicle and equipment software at Samsara. A UC San Diego computer science graduate, he blends systems-level knowledge (tutoring in Systems Programming, debugging with GDB/Valgrind) with frontend UX work from research and internships at MathWorks and Temple HCI Lab. He has led research projects that instrument digital whiteboards and visualize team progress, shipping Next.js/Firebase prototypes and presenting NSF-funded REU work. Comfortable across the stack, Alexander has applied Angular, C#, Docker, D3, and Miro APIs to real-world telemedicine and HCI problems and enjoys tackling new domains — from startup safety apps to choreography. Colleagues describe him as curious, teaching-focused, and quick to translate user feedback into accessible interfaces.
