Senior🎓
Top SchoolYang Chung is an engineering leader with 16 years of experience building scalable full-stack systems and AI-powered platforms from startup prototypes to revenue-driving products. Based in San Jose, he has led architecture and delivery at companies like July AI—where he built a real-time AI safety platform and synthetic data pipelines—and Clockwise, Charma, and Enjoy, driving features that directly improved operational metrics and ARR. Equally comfortable in Rails, Java/TypeScript stacks, and vector search optimizations, he emphasizes pragmatic, test-backed designs and CI/CD that preserve startup velocity while enabling future scale. A founder and frequent mentor, he pairs product-minded engineering with hands-on execution—often surfacing non-obvious gains such as query-level N+1 elimination and Sidekiq tuning to boost performance.
