Henry Yu is a backend engineer with 8 years’ experience building production LLM systems and distributed backends, currently focused on AI client work at Tencent Singapore. He brings a strong ML foundation from roles at Shopee and research projects at NUS, where he earned highest distinction and developed GAN-based terrain generation that won top marks. Henry has practical experience shipping computer vision and ML features in real-world pilots—from a widely trialed food logging app to radar-based maritime target detection—and improved model accuracy substantially through careful data work. He combines systems-level backend engineering with hands-on ML modeling and performance benchmarking, making him effective at moving prototypes into scalable services. Based in Chongqing and Singapore, he blends academic rigor with industry impact and a knack for turning challenging research ideas into production-ready components.
