Summary
Yuhao Huang is a backend engineer with 10 years' experience building scalable Python/Django services and leading cross-functional product teams in London. As a tech lead at Lyst he shipped high-impact mobile backend features—driving 30% gains in session conversion for the Home/For You tab and delivering time-sensitive personalized campaigns like Black Friday—while migrating services to Kubernetes and improving ML-driven recommendations. He values continuous learning and high engineering standards, which recently led him to study operating systems and start Designing Data-intensive Applications during a planned career break. Comfortable across PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, AWS and observability tooling, he pairs pragmatic TDD and mypy-driven practices with mentoring and Agile facilitation. Currently at Saltus, he’s also quietly building a Django site as a personal project for a cafe with his partner, blending production experience with hands-on product craftsmanship.
