About Me

Yuan Huang

Hi! I'm Yuan — a Software Engineer at Corteva Agriscience, where I take full ownership of production systems from architecture to deployment. My work spans edge computing on NVIDIA Jetson, event-driven microservices, and cloud infrastructure across AWS and on-prem Kubernetes — often as the sole engineer driving projects end-to-end. I hold a Master's in ECE (ML & Data Science) from USC. I enjoy working at the intersection of backend engineering, edge computing, and AI.

My Work

Corteva Agriscience

Argus — Real-Time Sensor Platform

Kubernetes gRPC NVIDIA Jetson Redis Streams NATS MongoDB

Migrated 10+ sensor services from a Factory-pattern monolith to containerized microservices with standardized gRPC contracts on NVIDIA Jetson edge devices. Built a K8s Sensor Manager for ephemeral pod orchestration and replaced Redis pub/sub with NATS-based telemetry to secure edge communication.

Corteva Agriscience

FSIP — Full-Stack Image Processing Pipeline

Argo Workflows Flask AWS EKS Terraform PostgreSQL GitLab CI/CD

Sole engineer owning end-to-end delivery of a pipeline processing 100+ LiDAR/multispectral flight jobs per week across 11+ containerized microservices. Shipped a PyInstaller desktop app with Azure B2C OAuth2 to 100+ field operators worldwide. Managed 4-environment infrastructure (DEV/QA/PROD/COM) on EKS with Terraform.

Corteva Agriscience

Enterprise AI Data Integration Pipeline

Databricks GraphQL ArcGIS Python S3

Automated geospatial ingestion pipeline handling 200 drone survey flights/day (20 GB each), replacing a fully manual process. Architected a Databricks pipeline to ingest orthomosaic GeoTIFF imagery via GraphQL with concurrent downloading and ArcGIS FeatureServer sync enabling downstream ML inference.

Personal Project

ContextBot — AI Developer Tooling

MCP FastAPI Claude Code AI Agents

Built an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in FastAPI that auto-injects project-specific rules and prior session history into Claude Code CLI and GitHub Copilot, so every session starts with full context. Designed an append-only audit log memory layer with cross-project semantic rules that stay in sync with the local repo.

Beaconfire Solution

Internal Collaboration Platform

Flask React RabbitMQ Docker AWS ECS PostgreSQL

Built a full-stack internal collaboration platform with Flask/React microservices, PostgreSQL on AWS RDS, and async email notification system via RabbitMQ. Containerized and deployed services with Docker and AWS ECS with JWT-based authentication.

USC Allegro Lab

NLP & LLM Research

RAG PyTorch Transformers LLM NLP

Built a RAG pipeline for long-context QA with document chunking and cosine-similarity retrieval. Improved multi-choice QA accuracy by 20% on a long-context benchmark by redesigning transformer architecture with parallel encoding branches. Published at EMNLP 2023 (co-2nd author) on Vision-Language Navigation data augmentation.
