Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Yip is an engineering leader and pragmatic technologist with ~8 years of industry experience building high-throughput systems and production ML at companies from startups to Meta Reality Labs. As a founding engineer at Leap.ai and early hire at PredictionIO, he architected end-to-end ML and recommendation platforms that scaled to millions of items and sub-second matching, then went on to lead infrastructure and camera algorithm teams at Facebook/Reality Labs, growing and splitting organizations while remaining hands-on as tech lead. He excels at squeezing algorithms onto resource-constrained devices—optimizing memory, hardware acceleration and quality/efficiency tradeoffs—and has shipped realtime recommendation infrastructure at 100K QPS across 1000+ hosts. Trained in rigorous research (Brown PhD work on constraint solvers) and fluent in product-focused execution, he blends deep systems thinking with startup grit and a taste for clear, measurable impact.
