Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuan CAO is a Principal DevOps Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building and running production systems across startups and enterprise environments. He blends hands-on backend and full-stack development (Golang, Ruby/Rails, Java, PHP) with SRE and DevOps leadership—designing infrastructure, incident playbooks, and observability stacks at companies like Flexport and Zepp. Yuan has driven cross-region engineering coordination, production readiness programs, and custom integrations (Dispatch, Argo workflows, Grafana/SLOs), and he regularly automates operational runbooks into repeatable CI/CD and Kubernetes workflows. Comfortable across AWS, Linux, MySQL/MongoDB and Redis, he has scaled APIs to hundreds of requests per second while also implementing analytics and BI systems that inform product decisions. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, end-to-end delivery: he’s equally likely to author a Ruby service, tune a Prometheus alert, or lead an incident as incident commander.
