Billy Yuan is a full-stack software engineer with 10 years of experience who excels at turning data and ML into product features, most recently building recommendation and premium messaging systems at OpenWork that measurably improved engagement and revenue. He brings strong back-end and DevOps chops—having cut CI runtimes by over 70% through parallelized ECS workloads—and a rigorous statistics background from roles at Facebook and Expedia where he built advertiser recommendation tools and causal marketing analyses. Comfortable shipping internal infra (including a custom ORM for analytics) and production ML/NLP, he thrives in multicultural Tokyo teams and is fluent in English and Japanese. An analytical generalist rather than a pure specialist, he blends hands-on engineering with experimental design to deliver impactful, data-driven products.
