Yu S.

AI & RAG Systems: Engineered a RAG system using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to deliver personalized Monte Carlo retirement analysis for members (Python/React). 10x Engineering Velocity: Architected a server-driven UI framework (Flutter/Python) that allowed non-eng teams to launch structured products autonomously, removing critical bottlenecks. Core Ledger & Infra: Built the end-to-end pricing infrastructure, integrating complex discounting logic into the core ledger and automating workflows via custom RPCs. Product Growth: Launched tax-efficient direct indexing, market-resilient quant strategies, and SEC-compliant onboarding flows, supporting multi-million dollar AUM growth. Leadership: Co-led the Engineering Intern Program, mentoring 6 interns across different lines of business.

Scale & Impact: Taught data structures and algorithmic-based problem solving to 2,000+ university students over 5 years, focusing on underrepresented groups in tech. Curriculum: Delivered university-accredited lectures on Technical Interview Prep with Python, helping students master the interview skills needed to break into the industry.

Engineer primarily on Maps iOS working on Discovery and Crisis Events. Formerly on Daydream. Tech Lead (Growth): Tech Lead for the contextual notifications, optimizing recommendation algorithms (C++/Obj-C) to drive a 7% global DAU increase across tens of millions of users. Crisis Response (SOS Alerts): Engineered real-time crisis visualizations and for Maps iOS, surfacing critical safety data and resources to users during global emergencies (hurricanes, earthquakes, floods). Organizational Leadership: Led the iOS Accessibility initiative across 300+ engineers, establishing org-wide standards for launch readiness and compliance. Performance Engineering: Engineered native optimizations for food-ordering flows, increasing order volume by 11%. Emerging Tech (VR): Developed privacy-first APIs for YouTube VR shared experiences (Java/C++), enabling secure interactions on early-stage hardware. Team Building: Managed 3 interns and 2 residents with a 100% conversion rate to full-time staff.

Facilitated the Android releases for a HIPAA compliant chat application. Also helped develop some of the core features requested from customer feedback.

Taught programming fundamentals to students in the Computers in Engineering course, holding office hours and appointments throughout the duration of the semester.

Advised prospective and current electrical/computer engineering students within Iowa's College of Engineering while offering them guidance in professional pursuits.

I investigated image processing, especially in relation to the lungs and cancerous tumors. My past work includes developing an efficient de-noising filter that executes 52% faster than its predecessor and creating a spherical mask in a 3D space to determine the exact value of an indicator used in cancer treatment assessment.

Prototyped a project for the cardiology team that dealt with utilizing popular calendar clients to boost patient adherence to medication schedules.

Created a tokenizing feature to make navigating/interacting with entered items more intuitive. Also developed a piece of the duplication functionality for the user's forms.

Graduated with a BSE in electrical/computer engineering with a software focus, a BA in computer science, a BA in music, a minor in mathematics, and university honors. Also actively participated in activities related to my technical passions (HackIowa, ACM, research) as well as my other interests.
