Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Yao is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building performant, user-focused web applications from startup to scale in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently at DoorDash, he architected a server-driven discovery homepage to accelerate feature iterations and reuse; previously at Aviso he led migrations to modern Vue.js, improved rendering by 35%, and cut prep and support time through data-visualization and admin tooling. Comfortable across front-end stacks (Vue, D3, JS) and middleware (Node/Express), he’s delivered measurable product and operational wins while mentoring teams and defining workflows that doubled productivity. A Purdue-trained electrical engineer who bootstrapped full-featured UIs early in his career, he pairs a hardware-minded attention to data pipelines with a designer’s sense for interactive UX. Outside of code he’s often hiking around the Bay Area with his wife, a small but steady reminder that practical engineering benefits from real-world perspective.
