Yida Y. is a Many hats, One engineer at Zentry. He possess expertise in c++, c, java, javascript, html and 1 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Yida as a teammate for 4 years on LinkedIn ProFinder and an ads serving platform project, from 2016 to 2020. During that time, you could always find us debugging, brainstorming, eating, or playing basketball together. His key strengths are his ability to execute collaboratively and his priority to seek out the success of his teammates. Yida is someone who believes strongly that when we take time to help each other out, we all benefit. I can personally attest many occasions where Yida made decisions to put my success before his. When an attractive opportunity on a new team arose, he encouraged me to take it instead of him. Encouraged by his act of selflessness, I engaged the manager of the new opportunity to see if there would be a way for both of us to participate. In fact, there was, and we got to spend two more years collaborating as teammates getting s*** done and having a lot of fun. This sort of team mentality is what makes him so special. I saw him spearhead efforts related to push notifications, backend design and implementation, internationalization, & database optimizations. In all of these, he quickly information gathered, effectively communicated across teams, and executed with a long-term mindset. He would go out of his way to speak highly of me in front of others. He encouraged me in my abilities when I felt like a failure. He set a great example of vulnerability in team meetings and was willing to be honest when others felt scared to be. Yida, teammate for 4 years, friend for life, thank you. You've made my time at LinkedIn so far so meaningful."
