Yen-Jung Chang is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in distributed training, inference efficiency, and model compression for very large deep models, currently driving applied research at Meta. Previously a Staff AI Software Engineer at LinkedIn, he led company-wide anomaly detection for large-scale time series, built explainable AI tooling for model developers, and architected distributed training systems that powered enterprise products like Strategic Talent Flow. His Ph.D. from UT Austin grounds his work in distributed and parallel computing, verification of distributed systems, and lattice theory, and he has a track record of translating research into production systems that detect security attacks and narrow online model issues. Notable early recognitions include first place in the International Global Routing Contest and multiple academic awards, reflecting a mix of theoretical depth and practical engineering impact.
