Profile: https://flows.cv/yilu1

I’m a software engineer specializing in interactive, map- and geometry-driven web applications. I build complex design tools and scalable backend systems that turn engineering standards and real-world constraints into intuitive user experiences.

My work spans React-based frontends (including canvas and visualization tools) and serverless backends on AWS using Node.js. I’ve designed APIs for engineering calculations, automated reporting pipelines, and enterprise-grade features such as SSO, multi-tenant white-labeling, and role-based access.

I frequently partner with product managers, engineers, and customer stakeholders to define requirements, shape roadmaps, and deliver solutions that balance technical rigor with usability. I’m especially interested in systems that sit at the intersection of engineering, mapping, and product design, and in building platforms that scale reliably in regulated or high-complexity domains.
