Senior🎓
Top SchoolVincent Yao is a full-stack software engineer with 10 years of experience building user-facing products and secure backend systems across startups and larger teams. He currently contributes to Lattice after earlier roles at Kit.com—where he was the first engineer implementing HIPAA-compliant APIs, Twilio video, and mobile releases—and Groupon, where he led Merchant Center web development and test coverage efforts. Proficient in JavaScript, Java, Python, React/React Native, Node, and both SQL and NoSQL databases, he routinely ships end-to-end features from React frontends to AWS-hosted services. He has hands-on experience with compliance-sensitive development, instrumenting communications workflows (SMS, email, video) and production observability via Splunk and Wavefront. A transfer from Carnegie Mellon who finished his CS degree at UC Santa Cruz, he blends strong academic grounding with practical startup execution. Vincent is comfortable owning features across the stack and turning ambiguous product needs into auditable, production-ready systems.
