Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYe J is an experienced software engineer with 12 years focused on infrastructure and data platform reliability across high-scale firms including Netflix, Cockroach Labs, Citadel, and Oscar Health. Based in New York, he blends strong academic foundations in computer science and financial mathematics with hands-on systems work—moving from iOS apps and Haskell tooling early in his career to production data and infra at tier-one tech companies. He has repeatedly worked on engineering effectiveness and distributed systems, shipping infrastructure that supports data platforms and resilient services. Ye has a history of bridging research-caliber thinking (PhD coursework at NYU) with practical delivery in production environments. Notably, his background includes both low-level client work (Bluetooth LE iOS integration) and large-scale backend infrastructure, reflecting a rare full-stack systems breadth. He currently focuses on infra at poolside, applying his cross-domain experience to scalable platform engineering.
