Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnthony Yang is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building high-performance systems, currently focused on low-latency trading infrastructure at Jump Trading Group. A Cornell graduate in Computer Science and Mathematics, he blends strong theoretical foundations with hands-on C++, TypeScript, and backend experience from roles at Jump, Lyft, Capital One, and a Cornell-founded startup. He has shipped production APIs and authentication services that handled hundreds of thousands of users, optimized network performance and data throughput, and cut resource usage substantially through pragmatic engineering. As a former CS TA he communicates complex concepts clearly and has a track record of improving developer workflows and design roadmaps. Based in Chicago, he thrives on cross-team collaboration to turn business requirements into robust, test-driven solutions. Less obvious: his background spans both functional programming pedagogy and practical systems optimization, allowing him to reason about correctness and performance simultaneously.
