Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Yu is a Senior Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building game systems, server infrastructure, and development tools for major titles at Blizzard and Visual Concepts. He has shipped backend integrations and commerce APIs for Overwatch 2 across PC and consoles, led server-side REST work and player-data repair systems, and previously delivered in-game customization and UI tooling for multiple NBA 2K releases. Equally comfortable in server and tooling domains, he blends practical systems engineering with a growing interest in rendering techniques and a knack for cross-platform challenges (including Switch and console storefronts). Based in Irvine, CA, he pairs large-scale live-service experience with a developer-first mindset that surfaced early during a Microsoft internship where he introduced UI automation for Windows apps. Outside work he follows sports and esports closely, often bringing player-focused product empathy into technical decisions.
