Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolYew Tang is a CEO and engineering leader with a decade of experience building production ML systems and consumer-facing AI products from research prototypes to scale. He led development of You.com's Deep Research (ARI) and YouChat, delivering fast, multi-page synthesis and a transparent personalization layer that drove 10x traffic growth. As CTO and co-founder of Hypotenuse AI (YC S20) he shipped self-serve ML tools for e-commerce customers and built the data pipelines, model training, and CI/CD that served Fortune 500 clients. His background includes published ML research at Stanford and NUS on concept-bottleneck models and weakly-supervised 3D detection, reflecting a rare blend of academic rigor and product velocity. Based in Palo Alto with roots in Singapore, he’s equally comfortable mentoring teams, architecting analytics/A/B testing platforms, and turning deep research into usable knowledge tools. An interesting facet: he designs products that output human-ready artifacts (beautiful PDFs of synthesized research) rather than only APIs, emphasizing usefulness for real-world decision making.
