Profile: https://flows.cv/angelyang

With a background as a professional dancer and choreographer, I approach technology with the same creativity and precision I apply to movement. Just as I craft fluid, engaging performances, I design seamless, personalized digital experiences that captivate and keep users engaged. From orchestrating interactive journeys using AWS serverless architectures to syncing mobile traffic optimization and cloud integrations, I create systems that flow effortlessly and resonate with users. I thrive on reducing technical debt and collaborating across teams, much like rehearsing with dancers, to deliver data-driven solutions that keep users coming back for more. Always in tune with the rhythm of user behavior, I’m excited to bring fresh, dynamic ideas to the table and elevate every interaction into a memorable experience.
