About Me

Austin Yau

Austin Yau

Software Engineer


I'm an engineer passionate about transforming ideas into robust, user-centric applications. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging my experience from both agile startups and large-scale enterprises to build software that scales and delights. With a unique blend of deep technical expertise and a strong product sense, I don't just write code – I solve real world business problems and create value.

Proficient in building full-stack applications using React (including frameworks like Next.js) for the frontend. Using various Node.js, and Python web frameworks coupled with SQL/NoSQL database layers, and deploying containers through CI/CD pipelines on cloud infrastructure

In my recent Tech Lead role at Dropbox, I drove high-impact projects including software migrations, '0-to-1' feature development, A/B testing optimization, and internal tooling implementations, all while bringing a high energy morale boosting attitude.

TL;DR - I am a team player who loves shipping products
