Ethan Yu is a founder and engineer with 11 years of experience building product and trading systems at the intersection of software and quantitative finance. As Co-Founder of Motion since 2019 he combines hands-on engineering, growth, and product strategy to scale a time-management startup out of Chicago. Prior roles as a quant trader at Citadel and DRW give him deep experience in macro and relative-value strategies as well as building rigorous, low-latency systems. Earlier stints at Facebook and WhatsApp reflect full-stack and iOS engineering chops, while a brief consulting role at McKinsey adds business-facing rigor. He holds a Computer Science degree from Dartmouth and is known for bridging data-driven trading intuition with user-focused product design. Outside the obvious startup and trading resume, he’s recruited talent across functions, signaling a founder who still operates in the trenches.
