Top SchoolJames Yeates is a software engineer-turned-day trader based in Salt Lake City with 11 years of professional experience across bootcamp instruction, full-stack development, and startup engineering.

Comfortable shifting between teaching, coding, and market-driven trading, James combines technical fluency in modern web stacks with a practical, product-focused mindset. His background in human development and a computer science minor gives him an atypical blend of technical skill and people-first communication. Currently trading at Y8Z, he brings a data-informed, algorithmic sensibility to both markets and software problems. Colleagues describe him as someone who prefers doing the work to writing about it, and who quietly drives outcomes across teaching, engineering, and trading.
