Hello, My name is Alan (Yian). I'm a passionate software engineer who loves creating innovative projects & apps that make a difference in people's lives.
About me
I'm Alan (Yian) Ge, a software engineer currently interning at OptiSigns, where I ship production features for 100+ enterprise clients. I studied Applied Mathematics at UT Austin and I'm finishing an MS in Software Engineering Systems at Northeastern.
I build AI products, full-stack apps, and developer tools with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python, Tailwind, and FastAPI. I care about building tools that feel polished, useful, and easy to use. I also write notes and case studies on my digital garden in both English and Chinese.
