Mulin Yang
@mulinyang
Senior software engineer specializing in distributed systems, applied AI, and high-scale commerce reliability.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years designing privacy-first, observable services and modular APIs that sustain high throughput under strict compliance controls.
I build resilient, SRE-driven platforms using Java, Python, and TypeScript, delivering 99.99% availability, substantial latency reductions, and MTTR improvements through CI/CD, Kubernetes, and automated runbooks.
I integrate LLMs and RAG to automate summaries, intent classification, and reply drafts, increasing automation and reducing agent handle time, while also shipping commerce initiatives such as Stripe Guest Checkout that captured significant new-user GMV.
I mentor engineers, lead API/partner integrations with contract testing and zero-downtime deploys, and prioritize observability, security (PCI/SOC2), and measurable SLO outcomes to drive product and reliability improvements.
