Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Yuan is a product-minded founding engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack web products and improving DevOps at startups. He combines hands-on expertise in Node/Next.js, TypeScript, Rails and Python with cloud operations on AWS and GCP to ship reliable systems that scale. As a manager and lead engineer he’s doubled team velocity twice, sustained delivery despite technical debt, and cut incidents by 70% year-over-year through blameless post-mortems and pragmatic engineering strategy. He’s shipped AI-driven features in production—raising paid lead conversion by 15% with a booking-probability model—and raised pre-seed capital while leading hardware and software prototyping at a prior venture. Based in Houston, he’s equally comfortable in code, CI/CD pipelines, and career ladders, focusing on measurable impact and team morale.
