Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYiran Hu is a Software Development Engineer at AWS with a decade of technical experience and a PhD in Physics from Georgia Tech, bringing a researcher's rigor to cloud-native engineering. He rapidly became a key contributor during an internship at NCR, where he built CI/CD pipelines, Helm charts, Terraform automation, and led Istio multicluster demos—skills he now applies to production services at scale. Comfortable across backend APIs (Django REST), mobile (Flutter), and infrastructure (Kubernetes, GKE, Terraform, Istio), he blends full-stack delivery with operational ownership. Based in Seattle, he also writes about development ideas and prototypes user-facing projects like the Invite demo, showing a knack for translating academic problem-solving into pragmatic product work.
