Senior🎓
Top SchoolZen Yui is a founder and CEO with 11 years of engineering leadership experience building scalable, event-driven systems and infrastructure—from data pipelines and real-time analytics to fiber and fixed wireless networks at scale. Previously a Co-Founder & CTO at an AI-driven corporate governance startup and manager of backend teams working with Spark/Scala, Kafka, Akka, gRPC, GraphQL and Go, he blends hands-on architecture with product-focused delivery. Based in New York, he mentors founders (formerly with Techstars) and has a track record of shipping predictive caching, automated reporting, and hybrid cloud data platforms. Unconventional background combining a Masters in Computer Science with a B.S. in Business and Hospitality gives him a pragmatic, operations-minded approach to technical strategy and customer-facing systems. His GitHub persona—“Not a warrior, not a sage”—hints at a practical, curious engineer who prefers impactful solutions over spectacle.
