Summary
Clifford Yin is a software engineer and current Computer Science master's student at Northeastern University with a strong foundation from UCLA and nine years of hands-on engineering experience. He has built and automated systems for indoor geolocation and device triangulation at Cisco, prototyped sensor-integrated positioning solutions, and implemented network filtering on iOS using Apple's NEFilter framework. Comfortable across Python, Bash, Expect, and backend file handlers, he combines low-level scripting with hardware integration and cloud-backed data workflows. Early work at Stanford's HCI lab shows his ability to bridge research-grade prototypes and production-ready pipelines, including HealthKit and Firebase integrations. Based in Saratoga, CA, Clifford brings a practical, test-driven mindset and a knack for turning sensor data into reliable location services—often automating tedious setup and data-collection tasks to accelerate shipping.
