Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuyao Zhan is a Software Development Engineer II at AWS with 11 years of professional experience and four years focused on machine learning and deep learning applied to large-scale data. She has built production-grade data pipelines and distributed systems—from Hadoop/MapReduce crawlers that ingest millions of URLs to backend services supporting threat detection at Fortinet—and now applies that scale mindset to cloud services. Her background spans multiple languages (Java, C#, R, Perl, Python) and includes hands-on statistical modeling and database design for big-data analytics. Notably, her academic research translated into practical tooling (MEGASAT) and a novel random-forest workflow to detect environment-associated genetic variation while controlling spatial confounders. Based in Vancouver, she blends research rigor with pragmatic engineering to turn complex datasets into actionable insights.
