Senior🎓
Top SchoolYitian Zou is a freelance developer based in San Francisco with 11 years of software experience and a BA in Computer Science from UC Berkeley complemented by a minor in Creative Writing. He builds end-to-end products—from a Unity C# AR-enabled browser RPG to a React/Node productivity app that syncs email and calendar—while also tutoring computer science and other subjects. Past internships at Uber and SAP sharpened his backend skills (Go, Thrift, Kafka, Protobuf, F#) and delivered measurable performance improvements like a 50% query-speedup in production services. He blends technical depth in systems and ML research with a creative bent—writing poetry alongside code—and teaches computer science, reflecting both communication skill and pedagogy. Comfortable across full-stack web, game engines, and cloud-hosted databases, he thrives on projects that mix real-world interaction, collaboration, and thoughtful UX.
