Summary
Yiran Shu is a software developer with 12 years of hands-on experience building reliable C++ systems, tooling, and data-driven features across autonomous driving, games, and database research. Currently at Tensor Auto after boosting FrameSim reproducibility from 20% to 75% at WeRide.ai, she combines systems-level debugging, automated code generation, and production pipelines to improve simulation and serialization workflows. Her background spans optimizing game engines and assets in Unity and C#, integrating memory engines into MySQL during academic research, and practical infra coordination for compute resources. A Columbia data science master’s alumnus with top academic performance and a multicultural outlook from studying abroad, she pursues technical approaches that can translate into social impact—e.g., using ML and environmental data to help rural agriculture. Colleagues know her for turning profiler-driven insights into measurable performance wins and for automating tedious developer tasks to raise team velocity.
