Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYang W is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience who blends deep systems and compiler knowledge with practical production work, currently at Capital One. He has a strong background in C++ and LLVM-based compiler development, low-latency systems in C and LuaJIT, and transitioning monoliths to microservices using Go and modern observability tooling. Comfortable across the stack, he’s delivered high-throughput networking gateways, RFID-backed inventory microservices, and cloud-native service tooling while contributing to OS-level compatibility work. A University of Waterloo alumnus with a physics minor, he approaches engineering with a tinkerer’s curiosity—experimenting with language and compiler theory, game modding, and optical design inspired by photography. Outside work he documents streets and motorsports through photography and brings that same attention to detail to edge-case behaviors in code.
