Tailored specifications.
Lightning delivery.

Ying joined our data platform work for a federal health agency before the requirements were nailed down, and he quickly started contributing and helping shape the product and architecture. He advised on how to architect the data producer and consumer model and built the full system working end to end. The results we delivered to the client were way beyond expectations and highly praised. I look forward to working with Ying in the future on many more highly-technical projects.

Initially, I had concerns about our acquisition channel reporting pipeline, which had been experiencing frequent downtime. This hindered our ability to effectively measure, improve, and scale our acquisition channels. However, Ying stepped in and implemented measures to strengthen the pipelines, thereby ensuring that the business could depend on accurate and timely acquisition channel data. I was particularly impressed by the level of engagement that Ying brought to the project, collaborating with stakeholders to ensure that their needs were met. Ying's ability to work seamlessly across functions and effectively apply technology to solve complex business issues is a testament to his exceptional engineering skills.

Ying is an incredible talent. The first time we met in Q3 2023, I had mentioned a few things about the mortgage industry, and how consumers had limited access to understanding a certain topic. Within 3 days, he had a working OpenAI ChatGPT persona trained and running on a site that blew me away. He has an entrepreneurial spirit, strong work ethic, and a desire to continue learning which is a fantastic recipe for success.

You want the data engineering job done right? You want Ying. He is the consummate professional who seeks to understand his customer's needs and then implement innovative solutions. What I really enjoyed about working with Ying is that I knew I could provide some high-level requirements and step away to focus on other items. He always delivered for me and my teams.

I had the pleasure of working with Ying on a cutting-edge proof of concept in a space where success criteria were still being defined. That kind of ambiguity is hard to navigate, and Ying handled it exceptionally well, thinking creatively, partnering closely with product management, and helping the team stay aligned on quality outcomes. What stood out most was how much pride Ying took in the work, both his own and the team's. He's easy to collaborate with, tireless in pushing projects toward success, and has a genuine knack for seeing how all the pieces of a solution fit together. His skillset is exactly what today's AI/ML landscape demands, and any team would be fortunate to work with him.

Ying is a strong innovative engineer with a high work ethic. His expertise in data engineering and data architecture will be a benefit to anyone working with him.

The reason this [project] was one of the more seamless integrations I’ve worked on is because of good attitudes from you and others and the willingness to come back to the table over and over again and clarify things through dialogue. A lot of companies never make it this far, they're stuck with [legacy solutions].

As a former direct report to Ying, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him. Ying is laser-focused on delivering high-quality results for the business while also understanding the importance of seeing people as people. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his team and is a strong champion of both their professional and personal growth. I can say wholeheartedly that I would not be the engineer I am today without his guidance.

Ying was the senior engineer and leader of the Data Engineering team at Caribou when I joined and both the company and I benefitted greatly from his technical knowledge, leadership skills, and friendly personality. Ying was instrumental in my growth as an engineer and challenged me to improve while also being fully supportive. His knowledge of software and data engineering is both broad and deep. Each project Ying led came in on time and with resounding success. I give my highest possible recommendation for Ying as both an engineer, leader, and friend.
