Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYen-cheng Chou is an entrepreneur and seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience building large-scale, low-latency infrastructure and compliance-ready cloud monitoring systems. Previously a Senior Software Engineer Technical Lead at Google, he led cross-team efforts to make Cloud Monitoring compliant with FedRAMP High, DoD IL levels, CJIS, ITAR and sovereign controls, unlocking multi-million-dollar deals and removing barriers for a $9B DoD contract. His background spans scalable ad-bidding platforms, real-time stream processing, and robust metrics/alerting for Kubernetes, VMs and Anthos, with a track record of turning complex requirements into production-ready solutions that survive network partition and high throughput. Now founding EmbeddedWise to deliver AI coding tools for embedded engineers, he combines deep systems engineering with product instincts and regulatory savvy. A Columbia-trained engineer who began in research-practice gaps (publishing on cross-domain image classification), he brings both academic rigor and pragmatic cost-saving impact—e.g., early work that saved ~$78K/year in Google storage costs.
