New York, New York, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Yang is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building consumer-facing products and scalable back-end systems across startups and FAANG companies. He’s shipped growth and financial connectivity features at Figma and Stripe, built chat-first community experiences at Meta, and co-founded Ona—an indie chef pop-up platform and restaurant POS that processed $1.5M+ and served 10k+ users. Comfortable across the stack (Next.js/TypeScript, Node, GraphQL, Postgres, AWS), he blends product-oriented engineering with quantitative tooling experience from roles in revenue management and analytics. Based in New York, he’s as likely to iterate on an API as he is to host a 300+ person ramen pop-up, reflecting a practical, maker-driven approach to product and operations. Not obvious from titles: his background in physics and data forensics underpins a pattern of turning noisy data into reliable systems.
