Summary
Yi Long is a software engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in full-stack web development using Node.js, React, HTML/CSS, and MongoDB, currently building systems at Amazon Web Services. He pairs that front-end/back-end expertise with strong foundations in parallel and system programming as well as SQL database design, enabling him to tackle both user-facing features and performance-critical backend components. His path from geological fieldwork to a CS master's (3.8 GPA) at Illinois Tech highlights a practical, data-driven problem-solving approach and comfort adapting to new domains. Yi has contributed to open-source projects and internships at Autodesk, reflecting a collaborative, team-oriented style and a penchant for hands-on engineering. Based in Seattle, he is actively seeking software engineer, full-stack, or systems programmer roles where he can bridge scalable cloud services and responsive web experiences. An underappreciated strength is his ability to translate complex domain knowledge into robust software—born from time spent as an exploration geologist.
