Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Yang is a seasoned software leader with over two decades of engineering experience and five years in senior management roles, currently building Project Kuiper’s global supply chain and fulfillment capabilities at Amazon from the ground up. He has repeatedly scaled teams to 20+ engineers and launched large programs—most notably a worldwide Customer Interest Experience that drove a 7x increase in direct sales and defined a $1B three-year roadmap. Known for blending product sensibility with technical execution, he has delivered ML-integrated platforms, cut ML model validation from 37+ days to one, and implemented operational excellence practices across multiple orgs. His background spans consumer-facing and infrastructure systems—from Prime Wardrobe subscription lifecycles to mobile seller tools processing millions of weekly requests. Based in Seattle with a B.A.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto, he brings a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to scaling teams and systems under ambiguity. A not-obvious strength: he consistently reduces redundant engineering work by designing cross-product platforms that accelerate innovation across business lines.
