Philip Yoo is a software engineer with 11 years of experience who transitioned from a business and operations background into full-time software development after immersive training at DevBootcamp and Holberton School. He has shipped backend systems for multi-cloud object storage at Scality—contributing to the open-source Zenko CloudServer—and built internal platforms at Publicis Spine using Rails, Node, Angular, and PostgreSQL. Comfortable across the stack, he combines systems-level knowledge (C, Linux, Bash) with modern web stacks (JavaScript, React/Angular, Ruby/Rails) and distributed tooling like Kafka and ZooKeeper. His career trajectory reflects a pragmatic problem-solver mindset, applying quantitative and operational experience from finance and energy roles to complex engineering challenges. Based in Oceanside, CA, he brings a peer-driven, project-focused learning approach and a track record of improving backend core logic and replication/ingestion metrics in production systems.
