> Senior Software Engineer @ HabiTerre // Building innovative data infrastructure and tools

Location: Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/tianyutonysun

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5 years of experience in building scalable backend and full-stack applications. I’m passionate about solving complex problems and creating innovative solutions that drive real business impact - from achieving a 10x increase in data pipeline throughput to saving $200K annually in cloud costs through performance optimization and efficient system design.

As a Tech Lead, I’ve mentored junior and intern engineers, guided architectural decisions, and championed engineering best practices. By streamlining the CI/CD pipeline, enforcing high code quality standards, and improving test coverage, my team maintained 90% test coverage and reduced service incidents by 80%.

As a Team Player, I thrive in environments where teams learn and grow together. I value clear communication, continuous feedback, and open knowledge-sharing - principles that have helped our team consistently resolve incidents within 24 hours and maintain a high level of operational reliability.

As a Lifelong Learner, I’m deeply curious about emerging technologies - from new programming languages to the latest advancements in AI and LLM applications. This curiosity enables me to adopt innovative architectures and cut application development time by up to 40% compared to traditional methods.

I’m always excited to connect with professionals who share a passion for building impactful software. Let’s collaborate to turn bold ideas into elegant, scalable solutions that make a real difference.
