Won Yong Ha is a software developer and PhD candidate in Electrical and Computing Engineering at NYU with a decade of hands-on experience spanning embedded systems, optimization, and full‑stack web development. He has combined academic research and industry practice—publishing a genetic‑algorithm based warehouse optimization after building the web tool for the Korea Army and developing LIDAR and optical routing systems at Cornell—to tackle real‑world automation and sensing problems. As a co‑founder and CTO he shipped product-focused solutions, and now at Amazon he continues to bridge research-grade algorithms with production software. Fluent across C, C++, Python, JavaScript and low‑level MCU/RTOS work, he brings rare depth in both real‑time embedded integration and scalable web interfaces. Known for turning sensor and systems research into deployable tooling, he enjoys applying optimization and simulation to messy operational problems.
