Chris Yoon is a software engineer based in New York with eight years of experience building systems-level and infrastructure software across industry and academia. He currently works on Foundry Ontology at Palantir after an internship on Gotham Ontology, bringing domain expertise in knowledge-modeling platforms and production-grade engineering. His background includes research in operating systems, compilers, secure containerization, and trusted execution at Columbia, plus teaching and head TA roles for compilers and AI courses. Prior internships at Virtu and Riot gave him low-latency networking, authentication, and GitOps/CI/CD experience, showing comfort across both low-level and orchestration layers. He blends research rigor with pragmatic shipping instincts—comfortable moving from compiler design and trusted execution research to high-throughput trading and incident-management tooling. Unusually for an industry engineer, he has deep academic mentorship experience and has led course instruction while shipping production services.
