Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYixin Lin is a founder and embodied AI researcher with 11 years of experience bridging cutting-edge robotics research and production-grade engineering. After research roles at Meta/FAIR and DeepMind focused on robotics, reinforcement learning, and foundation models, Yixin now leads a stealth startup applying those insights to real-world embodied agents. They pair deep research rigor with hands-on DevOps and backend skills—demonstrated by contributions to the widely used facebookresearch/fairo platform where they fixed complex build and dependency issues to keep embodied-agent tooling reliable. Comfortable moving between lab and product, Yixin combines academic training in computer science from Duke with startup and venture experience to rapidly iterate from prototypes to scalable systems. An unusual strength is operationalizing research codebases, making cutting-edge models reproducible and deployable.
