Yufei L.'s Email Addresses & Phone Numbers

📖 Summary

I like to make things, usually on the web, that make life easier and world a better place. I've worked with the entire web stack (i.e., Hadoop/Pig → SQL → web framework (rails/sinatra/django/express) → js/css/html). I've worked on projects exclusively using Pig/Hadoop in the backend, as well as projects using javascript/css on the front. Currently, I like JavaScript a lot more, and firmly believe in Attwood's Law. I've also built things in Java, but am a bigger fan of dynamic languages. Always open to discuss technology, startups, economy, and the like.
