Senior🎓
Top SchoolYifan Gu is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable scientific, cloud and geospatial systems, currently working on Knowledge & Geo at Google. Trained as an aerospace engineer with a PhD in Physics and Computational Neuroscience, he combines rigorous research instincts with pragmatic engineering—having architected SpikeNet for large-scale stochastic simulations and led R&D and cloud infrastructure as CTO at EARTH AI. He has hands-on expertise across SRE, storage and machine learning, and a knack for translating messy real-world data into actionable models for mineral exploration. Equally comfortable in code, fieldwork in outback Australia, or drone-testing exploration targets, he brings interdisciplinary curiosity and a habit of asking the deep questions that unlock new solutions.
