Pru Yontrarak

Full-Stack Engineer & Product Manager · CS, ML @ Columbia

I’m a master’s student in Computer Science at Columbia University, concentrating in machine learning. I bridge product intuition with engineering rigor, working across backend systems, frontend development, and algorithmic optimization, shipping features end-to-end from problem framing to code, metrics, and iteration.

My recent projects span cost-aware multi-city travel planning, reinforcement-learning simulations, and market data services. I’ve contributed as a Research Assistant to the Accessible & Accelerated Robotics Lab (A²R) and Soros Lab through the Summer Research Institute, served as a Product Manager at Spectator Publishing Company, and previously worked as a UX Design Intern at Wunderman Thompson.
