hello, i'm weiyoung 👋

Took charge of the design, pitch, development, and documentation process of a new prioritization algorithm for Elasticache’s Redis/Memcached node recovery system, alleviating the effects of large-scale events.

Leveraged OOP, Java, Spring, and SQL to optimize workflows, reducing average cluster recovery time by 25%.

Contributed to low latency and high availability (SLA 99.99%) for AWS Elasticache users.

Automated the legal analysis of all internal repositories by asynchronously parsing their dependencies and checking their licenses, cutting down time taken by open source analysts by 98.5%.

Utilized Python and Selenium to scrape, sort, and format code matches between internal and external sources, saving analysts 10+ hours per scan, enabling source match classification via Machine Learning.

Implemented designs of 20+ React components, utilizing Redux, React Query, JavaScript, TypeScript, Styled Components, and Tailwind, improving UX, runtime efficiency, and future-proofness.

Collaborated with developers and UX designers in a cross-functional team, developing user-centered designs.

Developed an internal tool that quantifies the effectiveness of each component, allowing the UX team to make informed decisions on which components to prioritize.

Built a new side panel with features such as map layer importing, reordering, zooming to, highlighting, and opacity tweaking, allowing 300+ internal and external geoengineers to work with geodata during fieldwork.

Implemented a secure, in-house version control system, allowing engineers to send encrypted data between iPads without internet, merge multiple versions, and sync to the web when online again.

Enhanced UX by simplifying workflow and implementing form search and autofill, reducing taps by 66.6%.

Collaborated with the team through demos, knowledge transfers, code reviews, and end-user meetings.

Utilized C#, .NET, MVVM design pattern, and Xamarin for development, and Azure DevOps, Azure Pipelines and Microsoft App Center for testing, release, and analytics.

Improved UX by minimizing clicks, simplifying menus, and setting up a chatbot using TalkJS.

Setup DevOps practices such as Git and Github Actions CI/CD, and initiated clear documentation with Confluence.

Applied good software engineering practices by refactoring code smells and restructuring repo, thereby increasing code maintainability and future-proofness.

Executed integration, functional and end-to-end tests on large-scale interactive software, ranging from touch-screen applications to multi-display interactive screens.

Led the Agile-Waterfall Hybrid Scrum team, utilizing Jira to log bugs and manage workflow.
