Sihong Yu
Software Engineer — Designed and delivered scalable systems from event-driven payment architectures to real-time biosensing pipelines. Built AWS event-driven backends (EventBridge, Lambda, DynamoDB) and led agile teams to deliver 80+ production features.
WORK EXPERIENCE
The University of Melbourne, AustraliaApr 2026 - Jul 2026
Research Assistant
- Assisted in designing next-gen 3D glassless display systems targeting Turing-test-level 3D perception
- Built MR orthodontic guidance pipeline on HoloLens 2 with XFeat/LightGlue/PnP (22Hz, 80ms latency)
- Demonstrated HL2 system at University of Melbourne Open Day 2026
ReCube, Hong KongApr 2023 - Feb 2024
Full Stack Developer
- Led a 3-person agile team building a lunchbox platform, delivering 80+ production features (Next.js PWA, AWS, 100% UAT)
- Designed CI/CD pipelines and IaC with AWS CDK, cutting deployment time from hours to 5 minutes
- Architected event-driven backend on AWS for payment workflows and automated notification pipelines
- Built a cloud-native container rental platform with Next.js and DynamoDB, enabling QR-based cutlery tracking
- Integrated Stripe payment processing and email/SMS authentication for secure user operations
- Managed multi-environment infrastructure (dev/staging/prod) with Cloudflare DNS and routing
PROJECT
Mixed Reality Biosensing · Research
May 2025 – Nov 2025
- Co-authored SIGGRAPH Asia XR submission; implemented codebase and contributed to paper writing
- Validated rPPG (HR MAE 3.75 BPM, BR MAE 2.45 BPM) on UBFC-rPPG dataset
Sensor Interactive App
Sep 2024 – Nov 2024
