Senior🎓
Top SchoolYjaden W is a Site Reliability Engineer with 11 years of experience building and operating multi-region, high-scale infrastructure, currently at TikTok in Oakland. He brings deep operational chops from roles at Meta (production engineering and fleet/monitoring tooling) and hands-on systems experience dating back to research and maker projects at Northwestern and MIT. Comfortable across Python, Go, C/C++ and embedded platforms, he has delivered tooling to track CVEs, improved test coverage for hardware fleet monitoring, and built music‑tech and IoT prototypes for community programs. A knack for translating research and classroom projects into production-ready services and tooling — plus a background in teaching and large-event hospitality — gives him strong communication and stakeholder skills beyond pure engineering.
