Summary
Timothy Yang is a Tech Lead Manager and Staff Software Engineer with 14 years of experience building perception and machine learning systems for autonomous vehicles and on-device products. Currently leading ML and productionization efforts at Waymo, he previously shipped on-device federated learning and keyboard prediction features at Google and helped launch Google Assistant. An MIT-trained engineer, he combines deep algorithmic foundations with full-stack instincts across TensorFlow, Android, Python, and Java to move models from research to production. He mentors teams, bridges product and infrastructure needs, and has a knack for turning quirky hardware and creative prototypes—like his self-described spark machines—into disciplined engineering outcomes. Based in Mountain View, he balances systems-level rigor with hands-on coding and a curiosity for unconventional projects that reveal new technical approaches.
