Summary
Wei Yin is a Senior Software Engineer at Google with 11 years of experience building scalable backend serving stacks, personalization infrastructure, and microservices for products like Google Discover and the iOS Search app. He blends deep backend and data engineering expertise—spanning large-scale ML pipelines, real-time ETL, and HBase/Hive ecosystems—with hands-on mobile UI work as a former tech lead for iOS Suggest and Settings frameworks. Previously a data scientist at American Express, he designed big-data schemas and recommender improvements, and earlier research roles delivered multi-fold performance gains in Hadoop and parallel computing. Based in New York, he combines product-oriented thinking with low-level performance tuning, and his self-described “wild programmer” streak suggests a pragmatic, exploratory approach to solving hard engineering problems.
