Summary
Yves Shum is a full-stack engineer with nine years of experience building production web and infrastructure systems across startups and enterprise teams. He has led small engineering teams to deliver trading systems and automation, co-founded and tech-led a startup, and shipped features at PayPal that saved hundreds of man-hours and improved incident analysis. Comfortable across React/React Native, Vue, Node.js/TypeScript, Python, and cloud platforms (GCP/AWS), he pairs front-end polish with backend reliability and DevOps automation. At UChicago he drove an 80% hardware-cost reduction by migrating services to Docker and reverse proxies, and built tooling that saved stakeholders time each quarter. Recently focused on AI-enabled products as a founding/full-stack engineer at Sesame Labs/MadMen AI and now Medra, he blends product intuition with hands-on engineering. Colleagues describe him as an operator who turns messy requirements into repeatable, measurable systems.
