Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTerry Yin is an Agile Coach and seasoned software engineer based in Singapore with 15 years of professional experience and nearly 30 years of hands-on development background. He specializes in coaching organisations to elevate engineering practices, programming skills (notably C++, Python, TDD) and software design while actively contributing to open source projects. His career spans R&D leadership and hands-on coaching roles at Nokia Siemens Networks and Odd-e, where he has led multiple Scrum teams and coached coaches across large engineering organisations. Terry’s GitHub work shows practical back-end and DevOps strengths—publishing a PyPI-ready translation module and improving a multi-language code complexity analyzer—alongside contributions to the well-known CppUTest framework. He blends pragmatic engineering with systems thinking, often fixing tricky edge cases and CI/CD issues that keep projects production-ready. Unusually for a coach, he continues to ship code and tools himself, bridging strategy and implementation.
