Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHarry Huang is a mechanical engineering student at the University of Washington with nine years of hands-on experience blending engineering design, operations, and backend software contributions. As Rear Commodore and former Fundraising Chair at Washington Yacht Club, he has led recruitment, events, and secured significant funding—demonstrating operational leadership and stakeholder engagement beyond typical student roles. Technically, he has contributed to SeaweedFS’s backend, improving volume layout, sparse file handling, and Redis integration, showing an ability to work on large-scale distributed storage systems. His engineering roles span precision hardware and additive manufacturing—designing 3D-printed parts, radiation shields, and modular tooling that cut production time by 30%—and aerospace competition work on propulsion and nosecone structures. Comfortable moving between software and hardware domains, he brings a practical systems mindset that connects low-level storage performance improvements to physical-product prototyping and manufacturing. Based in Seattle, he combines club-level leadership with cross-disciplinary engineering experience and a track record of shipping impactful technical changes.
