Steven Yu is a quantitative software engineer based in New York with four years of production experience building cloud-native financial services and quantitative tooling for investment firms. He brings a hybrid background in applied engineering and quantitative finance—MS in Mathematics in Finance from NYU and engineering degrees from UBC—combined with hands-on API, microservices, Kubernetes, Python and Java development at SS&C and Two Sigma. His career began in the Royal Canadian Navy as a marine engineer, where he developed discipline and resilience that now informs his rigorous approach to system design and data architecture. A repeat mentor and adjunct instructor, he enjoys collaborative problem-solving and has applied that ethos to designing time-series data services and financial APIs. Outside work he’s an avid national-park traveler, a detail that reflects his curiosity for complex systems both technical and natural.
