Yifan Wuโs Expertise I am expert at designing developer friendly abstractions for manipulating data. I am experienced in designing complex applications (e.g., SQL transpiler, Python program slicer, TypeScript+React data exploration tools). I am skilled at explaining novel concepts through many years as a teacher and idea-marketer. I work well with ambiguity and am experienced in translating ideas to roadmaps. I have participated in over two hundred hours of coaching and meditation practice to work towards conscious leadership. I value a team that is invested in quality and efficiency, compassionately candid, and committed to inclusion and having a positive impact.
