ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Shunyu Yu, a software developer specializing in embedded systems and machine learning. I build technology solutions that bridge hardware and software, with a focus on healthcare, safety systems, and IoT applications.

My work combines embedded systems programming with modern AI/ML techniques to solve real-world problems in healthcare, safety, and environmental monitoring.

Beyond coding, I'm an avid short to mid-distance runner and enjoy reading and writing about tech and cultural analysis. I also contribute to open-source projects and explore emerging technologies.
