Top SchoolRichard Ying is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience blending UI/UX design and engineering to ship polished, production-ready interfaces and systems. He led Mercedes-Benz’s first touchscreen UI library and established a company-wide design system, and today drives frontend architecture and product delivery at Octane. As founder and CTO of Huiben Shop he fused archival fashion curation with progressive e-commerce UX, demonstrating a rare mix of creative direction and engineering execution.

An appetite for cross-disciplinary projects shows in published fashion features and consumer-facing AI-driven concepts showcased at CES and SXSW.
