Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHeather Yuan is a software engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with three years of hands-on experience building performant systems and user-facing web apps. A UC Berkeley CS graduate, she has shipped backend optimizations at Grafana Labs that cut query latency dramatically and now works on player experience for Netflix’s Games Developer Platform. Heather has led a team to build a React/Flask/Postgres product that handles bulk data ingestion, algorithmic matching, and financial workflows, and she’s implemented yield-boosting Ethereum smart contracts and TypeScript refactors in earlier roles. Comfortable across full-stack, infra, and blockchain domains, she pairs measurable performance wins with product-minded leadership and mentoring. An understated strength is translating research-level ideas (like protocol-buffered indexes and LLM-driven tooling) into production-safe deployments.
