Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolWynne Yao is a software engineer with nine years of experience building backend systems and developer-facing tools, currently working on Meta’s Tracking & Sensors Infrastructure for VR and set to join AWS as a software development engineer. A Carnegie Mellon CS senior with a Sonic Arts minor, Wynne blends rigorous systems knowledge—taught as a TA for 15-213—with practical cloud and API engineering honed at AWS Directory Service, where they led a risky, full-customer OS upgrade and redesigned control-plane APIs and logging across multiple services. They have a track record of shipping production web and serverless applications (Angular, Django, AWS Lambda/S3) from internships at Capital One and ASML, and can quickly debug complex on-call incidents. Wynne’s background in computer music and spoken dialogue systems shows an uncommon mix of DSP/audio tooling and conversational interfaces alongside core systems work. Comfortable iterating with product teams and writing integration tests, they focus on reliable, well-tested solutions that account for real-world edge cases. Based in New York, Wynne brings both deep systems intuition and creative technical breadth to infrastructure and platform challenges.
