I’m Austin Yoo, a software engineer with nearly 10 years of experience across e-commerce, healthcare, and fintech/crypto. My strengths are bridging product and engineering goals, scaling systems past their monolithic origins, and bringing clarity to ambiguous problems.
Senior Software Engineer
I joined Paxos as a backend Golang developer and built out their Banking service from the ground up.
Abstracting the complexities of communicating with banks seems like it should be simple until you realize that most banks were built without programmable interfaces in mind.
Being part of the war room during the 2023 banking crisis that led to the collapse of SVB, Silvergate, and Signature and watching the fiat side of crypto get stress-tested in real time was a defining moment as an engineer.
Software Engineer
As one of the last PillPack engineers (and one of the first Amazon Pharmacy engineers) I helped prepare for Amazon-scale traffic by modularizing and migrating components out of the PillPack monolith into separate services.
Going from Ruby on Rails to Golang to Amazon-flavored Java meant designing scalable, fault-tolerant microservices that integrated with Amazon’s systems while maintaining Operational Excellence and Customer Obsession™
Software Engineer
Wayfair was my first real job as a software engineer. As a full-stack engineer, I helped build and maintain a supplier-facing web app for product catalog data entry and curation.
