Hi, I'm Jalen Yang

Product Engineering, Winnipeg, MB (Remote from Oakville, ON)

• Grocery Store AR Application: Spearheaded the development of an AR-based grocery scanning application, implementing real-time computer vision with OpenCV and YOLO; ran object detection at 30 FPS and interpolated results to a smooth 60 FPS render for a fluid, low-latency AR experience within ARCore.
• AI-Orchestrated Web-Crawling: Designed an AI-orchestrated web crawling system that coordinates 5 containers in parallel (fan-out/fan-in), delivering ~5× throughput over sequential collection and reliably serving ~100 users in production.
• Full-Stack & Cloud Integration: Engineered a scalable backend using Firebase and Elasticsearch to handle complex search queries and automated cloud workflows, operated reliably in production for 2 years.
• Admin Dashboard & Modernization: Architected an administrative dashboard and login system with React, serving ~100 active users and streamlining full-stack workflows to accelerate new service deployment through AI-driven automation.

Project Leader & Lead Programmer | C-Lab (In-house Incubation), Seoul
Feb 2022 – Apr 2023

• Fingeraction Project: Selected as Project Leader for a competitive in-house venture; managed the entire lifecycle from concept validation and team formation to technical execution.
• 3D UI Automation: Architected a real-time finger gesture recognition pipeline that automated avatar animations and interactive 3D UI control within Unreal Engine.

Senior Software Developer | R&D Center – Samsung Research, Seoul
May 2019 – Jan 2022

• Robot Simulation: Built a robot simulation environment inside Unreal Engine 4, integrating complex rigid-body physics, sensor arrays, and motion planning algorithms via ROS2.
• AI Animation Patent: Engineered and patented an ML-based "Voice-to-Speech Animation" system utilizing ARKit BlendShapes for high-fidelity facial expressions.
• Digital Human (CES 2022): Developed core integration frameworks linking Digital Humans with smart appliances and advanced robotics (Bot Handy, Bot i) for Samsung's "Future Home Experience" showcased at CES 2022.

Software Engineer | IT & Mobile Communications, Suwon
Feb 2011 – Apr 2019

• AR Emoji Application (2018–2019): Developed an OpenGL ES-based GLTF renderer supporting PBR workflows and optimized asynchronous model loading pipelines. Created a high-precision body tracking module using BVH data and designed a cross-platform Unity plugin for third-party game engine integration.
• Samsung VR & UFC Live (2017–2018): Architected a 4K cloud-stitching video pipeline using FFmpeg and AWS Docker, achieving low-latency, high-fidelity real-time streaming for 10K+ concurrent users. Engineered feature-tracking and 3D texture projection algorithms across XYZ axes to eliminate visual jitter.
• VR Rendering Solutions (2016–2017): Ported and integrated SMI's Eye-Tracking solutions. Implemented stencil-based foveated rendering using custom GLSL/HLSL shaders, reducing GPU overhead by 30% and maintaining a stable 90 FPS.
• OnCircle – Galaxy S6 Edge (2015–2016): Developed the Circle UI communicator for Galaxy S6 Edge, including various message types (AGIF, Emoticon, Touch and Drag) with animation UI.
• Kids Mode in Galaxy (2014–2015): Developed the core 2D/3D framework for Kids Mode utilizing Unity. Managed life cycle of native applications for kids in Galaxy Store.
• Galaxy Tablet & Flagship Apps (2011–2013): Managed 3rd party apps, maintained releases of Tablet products, developed Quick Panel and Video Player features.
