About

Yuyang Wang

I’m a software engineer at Polaris Wireless, focused on AI agents, LLM inference, and data infrastructure.

I lead the engineering of an AI data analysis platform: a streaming agent runtime, natural-language workflows, self-hosted vLLM serving, ClickHouse analytics, and production monitoring. A lot of my work involves keeping agents reliable — measuring them against a graded evaluation harness, sandboxing the code they generate, and connecting them to five different database engines.

Outside of work, I build iOS apps, ESP32 displays, and free programming tutorial sites.

Experience

Software Engineer · Polaris Wireless

Jun 2024 — Present

Full-time · Santa Clara, CA

  • Shipped an AI data analysis platform end to end in Python (FastAPI, LangGraph, PostgreSQL, React): a streaming agent runtime with disconnection-safe resumable runs, checkpointed state, MCP tools, JWT/RBAC access controls, human-in-the-loop approval, reusable agent skills, and an nsjail sandbox for model-generated code. Agents run governed text-to-SQL across five database engines (ClickHouse, DuckDB, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL).
  • Deploy and operate the platform’s self-hosted vLLM inference on GPU: own model deployment and upgrades, tune KV-cache memory, batching, and context length for throughput and latency, and debug the serving path in production.
  • Built a 133-case end-to-end evaluation and regression harness that grades each agent answer in four layers — tool routing, arguments, results, and rendered charts and maps — against a ClickHouse ground-truth oracle. It drove accuracy to 97% and cut suite runtime 57% by fixing the tool-call and grounding defects it exposed.
  • Cut co-presence analysis, which scores which subscribers met a target, from two minutes to under 30 seconds across billions of mobility records by redesigning the ClickHouse pipeline, and derived and documented its statistical confidence model.
  • Built and own production KPI monitoring for customer deployments in two countries using Flask, Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, and Docker: 100+ KPIs across 48 dashboards, 15 alert rules, scheduled 15-minute analysis jobs, a web command portal, and automated monthly reports.
  • Developed natural-language workflow agents for the AIGIS product: intent classification, fuzzy resolution of target and geofence names, natural-language date parsing, parameter validation, and generation of structured API requests.
  • Technical lead for the analysis platform: set its architecture and drove delivery with an offshore engineering team. Mentored several interns and conducted technical interviews for 10+ engineering candidates across multiple teams.

Graduate Research Assistant · Cornell Tech / National Zoning Atlas

Aug 2023 — Dec 2023

New York, NY

  • Built an LLM pipeline for structured extraction and RAG over U.S. zoning codes using the OpenAI API and AWS Textract OCR, with DVC-tracked data and automated evaluation. It cut manual review time for the Atlas team.

Teaching Assistant · University College Dublin

Sep 2020 — Mar 2023

School of Computer Science, Beijing–Dublin International College

  • Ran labs and tutorials, graded projects, and held office hours for six undergraduate modules: Data Structures & Algorithms, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Object-Oriented Design, Intro to Program Construction, and Computer Graphics.
  • Mentored students on debugging, Git workflow, and code quality.
