Top SchoolKevin Yang is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and operating-system-adjacent software, currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has advanced through roles at Lyft—from intern to senior engineer—and now drives backend and infrastructure work at Ramp, demonstrating consistent impact in high-traffic production environments. Kevin’s background blends rigorous academic training from the University of Michigan with international study at TU Berlin, reflecting both theoretical grounding and a global perspective. He focuses on reliability and scalability, often working on the plumbing that enables teams to ship at massive scale rather than user-facing bells and whistles. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who pairs systems-level curiosity with a track record of shipping robust solutions under real-world constraints. Outside of day-to-day work he gravitates toward low-level systems challenges, suggesting deep interest in performance and fault-tolerance that informs his engineering decisions.
