# Yudai Yaguchi > Software Engineer at Atlas Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/yudai As a software engineer, my professional journey has been marked by an evolving understanding of how technology intertwines with our daily lives. At PayPal, I’ve embraced the challenge of enhancing payment systems, while my occupancy at Sony allowed me to delve into the subtleties of user interface design. One of my most fulfilling projects to date has been designing a website for a friend’s food truck business. The project was a practical application of my skills, resulting in a site that offers a beautifully crafted design, optimized for devices like iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It’s a testament to my belief that good design and functionality should extend to all corners of business, big or small. As I pursue my Master’s in Computer Science, I'm constantly reminded of my ultimate aspiration: to become an engineer who contributes to alleviating the uneven distribution of knowledge. I'm driven by the conviction that technology can and should create pathways to opportunity for everyone, regardless of where they start in life. It’s a dream that pushes me to not only grow my skills but also to apply them where they can help bridge gaps in access and understanding. I am mindful that my journey is just beginning, and there’s a vast landscape of knowledge yet to explore. I welcome the lessons that lie ahead and the chances to apply technology in meaningful ways, continually inspired by the potential to contribute to a world where information and opportunity are not limited by birth, wealth, or social barriers. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Atlas Jan 2023 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area As a Software Engineer at Atlas Inc., I build and maintain the end-to-end platform behind the Atlas 0 % APR rewards credit card, which offers high-approval, no-hard-pull access to credit and smarter tools for score growth.
