Summary
Yang-chi Shen is a Senior Data Scientist and Data Engineer with 13 years of software experience and nearly a decade focused on data roles within Taiwan's startup scene. He has led data teams and projects end-to-end — from productionizing recommendation systems and IR/NLP pipelines to migrating Airflow to AWS MWAA and building MLOps with SageMaker and W&B — consistently improving delivery speed, engagement metrics, and operational costs. At Arc.dev he doubled project delivery efficiency and boosted interview and client engagement through a retrieval+rerank recommendation architecture; at Gogolook he applied network embeddings and behavioral features to lift personalization and fraud detection. Yang-chi blends hands-on engineering (PySpark, DBT, Airflow, AWS) with strategic leadership and mentoring, often accelerating analyst productivity by simplifying data transformation workflows. Comfortable moving between research-grade models and robust production pipelines, he looks for roles where technical rigor meets measurable business impact.
