Hi, I’m Yan Li, a recent M.Eng graduate in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Ottawa. I have hands-on experience in full-stack desktop app development (React.js, Electron, Julia), Python-based machine learning, and signal processing. I also have a deep interest in blockchain, cryptography, and distributed systems, and I’m eager to apply my cross-domain technical background to deliver high-impact software solutions. I’m seeking opportunities in a collaborative environment where I can contribute to scalable, reliable products, mentor teammates, and continuously learn new technologies while delivering value.

Work Experience

Software Development Engineer (Co-op) at D-TA Systems Corp
December 31, 2023 - August 26, 2025
Led the end-to-end development of a desktop application for real-time signal visualization, built from scratch using Julia for backend and Electron + React for frontend. Independently designed the system architecture and implemented modular WebSocket-based data streaming, JSON-based session management, and a responsive GUI with resizable/dockable layouts and dynamic plotting components. Delivered a functional internal prototype that automated previously manual workflows, significantly reducing signal debugging time.
