Tina Yang is a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon with seven years of industry experience combining software development and hardware-aware research from her ECE background. She holds BASc and MEng degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto and has progressed through multiple engineering roles at Amazon and Intel, plus FPGA CAD research at U of T. Her work spans production software at scale and research projects—her bachelor thesis explored human-in-the-loop choices in machine learning pipelines, while her contributions to the widely used verilog-to-routing open-source CAD flow focused on improving developer-facing documentation and tutorials. Comfortable bridging research and product engineering, she brings clarity to complex systems and a track record of turning academic CAD insights into practical tooling improvements. Based in Old Toronto, she combines pragmatic engineering with a continued interest in FPGA/CAD and ML-stage usability.
