Richard Trieu is a Senior Operations Specialist with 15 years of technical and operational experience, currently driving operations at Wayvia (formerly PriceSpider) from El Monte, California. He pairs an MA in Applied Mathematics with hands-on engineering contributions to high-profile open-source compiler projects—fixing bugs and improving diagnostics in Clang/LLVM and LLDB—to bring rigorous problem solving and code-level insight to operational challenges. His background spans machine learning research (phone-model generation and algorithm optimization), data-driven epidemiological modeling at RAND, and frontline management roles that honed his cross-functional coordination and customer-facing skills. Notably, he combines production operations expertise with low-level compiler debugging experience, a rare blend that helps bridge infrastructure reliability and developer toolchain stability.
