Top SchoolXinyi Chen is a Staff Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 8 years of experience building and scaling highly distributed backend systems. She has a strong track record at Uber and Temporal Technologies driving cross-organizational projects, rearchitecting core services for 7x read throughput improvements and leading multi-team initiatives that materially increased driver activation and supply. At a stealth startup she designed an NFT-based achievement ecosystem from scratch and grew the engineering org while operationalizing auto-scaling infrastructure on AWS. Pragmatic and efficiency-minded, she led language migrations and tooling improvements that cut host counts and manual toil dramatically. Known for simplifying complexity—aptly summarized on GitHub as "I make things simpler"—she combines hands-on engineering with coaching and platform-level thinking. Her background in CS and physics gives her a disciplined approach to system design and instrumentation.
