Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAllen Yan is a PhD candidate and experienced full-stack developer based in Portland with 13 years of software engineering experience spanning academia and industry. He teaches and designs core CS courses (data structures, architecture, algorithms, PL fundamentals, and deep learning) at Oregon State while researching human-in-the-loop defenses for test-time adversarial attacks on sensor-to-decision ML systems. His internship work at Intel and Google focused on practical AI deployment—profiling RAG systems, integrating generative models on hardware, and building CNN detectors for facial forgery—bridging research rigor with production constraints. A strong systems and tooling engineer, he has converted legacy scientific codebases and streamlined inference stacks (Triton/PyTorch) for performance, and he codes in Node.js, JavaScript, and Java across full-stack projects. Notably, he brings a rare combination of deep academic training (PhD AI, 3.97 GPA) and hands-on platform experience that accelerates moving ML research into deployable, hardware-aware solutions.
