Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYueyang Tang is a first-year PhD student at Purdue University with nine years of software engineering experience focused on programming languages and type systems. He holds a First Class Honours BSc from the University of Edinburgh and has hands-on compiler and language-engineering experience from internships and research roles, including designing a red-green tree IR and implementing type-class-like interfaces for a WASM-targeted functional language. As a backend contributor to the popular onefetch tool he expanded language support (Idris, F#) and improved display/parsing logic, showing attention to both tooling ergonomics and language metadata. His background spans compiler optimizations for aarch64/rv64, theorem-prover type systems, and teaching functional and OOP concepts to undergraduates, blending research, systems-level coding, and pedagogy. Based in West Lafayette, he combines deep type-system interests with practical implementation skills and a track record of contributing to open-source projects and production-focused compiler teams.
