This is the cyber existence of Muyang Ye. I currently work as a Software Engineer on Google’s YouTube OTT (that means Primetime Channels + YouTube TV📺) Discovery & Serving Infra team, where I am mainly working on the recommendation system behind YTV’s Live page and Library page. More specifically, this Reddit post is exactly what I have been doing since I joined 6 months ago (please keep it as a secret as that “leak” was a bug [well, not written by me xD]). Previously, I spent 1.5 years at Microsoft Azure working on data center network verification🌐.

During my undergrad at the University of Southern California, I was extremely fortunate to work with Ph.D. mentor Rajrup Ghosh and professor Ramesh Govindan on volumetric video streaming and rendering. I also had the truly cherished opportunity to collaborate with professor David Kempe on interactive maxflow algorithms visualization. Since I have already listed a bunch of names, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to and wholeheartedly recommend professor Aaron Cote, the instructor of my Data Structures course, and the best instructor of my entire educational journey.

In my leisure time, I enjoy video games (used to play competitively as a booster and won several competitions with cash awards; since high school I prefer single player games more), badminton (still playing competitively), cooking, traveling, and mountaineering.
