Summary
Lizhuo You is a Software Developer with 8 years of hands-on experience across full-stack, backend, DevOps, and machine learning engineering, currently building data reliability and anomaly detection on GKE at Google. A University of Waterloo Software Engineering graduate with a 3.7 GPA, she has a track record of shipping high-impact services at scale—reducing costs and development time at Amazon Payments, improving deployment and provisioning workflows at HashiCorp, and accelerating pipelines via multithreading and caching at Pelmorex and Wonolo. Comfortable across cloud-native stacks (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog) and languages from TypeScript to Go and Python, she bridges ML integrations (BERT/Kinesis) with production-grade engineering. Pragmatic and efficiency-minded, she has repeatedly automated manual workflows to save SDE-days and introduced provisioning and monitoring tools that speed team productivity. Off the beaten path, she pairs backend systems work with front-end demos and even game-prototyping, reflecting a broad curiosity and product-oriented mindset.
