It’s a bit strange to repost endorsements but should be helpful to learn about me through other lenses.

I feel deeply grateful for the time working together with these talented and kind people!

Zack Sheppard - Staff Engineer at Wave

Over the years Jiayu and I spent together at Wave I have seen explosive growth in her skillset. She continuously demonstrated an intrinsic desire to grow and learn. She became an expert in several key areas of our software and I was able to rely on her as an expert in those domains to deliver quality changes to our customers. I was able to let her directly interact with the customers, propose tech designs, and fully implement the feature or fix with little to no assistance. Jiayu is a great fit for any technical team and I cannot recommend her enough!

Sean Dunn - Chief Architect at Wave

Jiayu was an outstanding employee during her time at Wave, consistently demonstrating exceptional capabilities that set her apart. Her work was meticulous, innovative, and maintained a high level of engineering excellence. What really set her apart was her ability to bridge the gap between creativity and engineering, which made her an invaluable asset for cross-functional projects.

Throughout her years at Wave, Jiayu proved her value through her dedication and consistent delivery of high quality results. Her contributions left a lasting impact on the team, and she will be missed. I recommend Jiayu without hesitation and am confident that any organization fortunate enough to have her will benefit greatly.

Tashkeel Shah - Senior Technical Artist at Wave

Jiayu is an excellent team member, that any software company would be lucky to have. Not only is she an excellent engineer, well versed in best practices and able to absorb incredibly complex proprietary software architecture, but she brings to the table a genuine interest in how her work will contribute and be received.

I had the pleasure of working with Jiayu shipping many tools and systems that targeted a wide array of expertise such as Audio reactivity, VFX, UI, gameplay, and more. Moreover, we worked on a lean team environment, where we often didn’t have the luxury of well budgeted time frames or even a clear product owner, so it was refreshing to work with someone who was able to take on not just the technical burden, but also some of the user experience point of view thoughtfulness many of the projects required. I was very lucky to work with Jiayu, and would feel lucky to be able to do so again in the future!

David Rodriguez - Senior Staff Engineer at Wave

Jiayu is a talented, smart, and hard working engineer. She asks the right questions at the right time, is able to provide great results for difficult problems, and is great at acting on constructive feedback. She’s not afraid to dive deep into Unreal Engine and is talented at creating feature implementations and providing bug fixes. I will miss Jiayu at Wave and would be excited and lucky to work with her again in the future.

Adam Arrigo - CEO at Wave

Jiayu is an extremely hard worker and skilled developer. She exudes creativity in everything she does and is a pleasure to work with. If you’re lucky enough to work with her, you would know there aren’t many people out there with her level of dedication and commitment. Highly, highly recommended.
