Yunfan Yang is a Data Scientist II based in Chicago with eight years of engineering experience blending AI research and production software development. Trained in Computer Engineering (UIUC) and Artificial Intelligence Engineering (CMU), he builds scalable ML and LLM pipelines, backend services, and big-data solutions using C++, Python, Go, SQL, Spark and AWS. His background spans gaming—where he developed AI NPCs with dynamic emotions and evolving memory—and robotics, having implemented ROS drivers, navigation and SLAM-assist vision models for autonomous vehicles. Comfortable moving models from research to product, he combines hands-on systems engineering with applied LLM work and information-security awareness from his MS studies. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic architectures that bridge real-time systems and cloud-scale ML deployments.
