# Sunny Yao

**Headline:** Software Engineer
**Location:** Georgina, ON, Canada

## About

Sunny Yao is an AI/ML Engineer at Synchroni, where Sunny trains CNN\-Transformer models to classify motor imagery in human EEG data\. Sunny builds and ships machine\-learning systems end to end, with experience in model deployment, production ownership, local model packaging, large\-scale data processing, and full\-stack product development\. Sunny’s strengths span deep learning with PyTorch and CUDA\-based parallel processing, Google Cloud Platform infrastructure, and the practical engineering needed to move ML features from raw data into usable products\. At Synchroni, Sunny developed an EEG classification model that achieved 85% accuracy and delivered six\-figure value to a client\. Sunny also addressed large EEG\-data processing demands through parallelism\. Previously, Sunny worked in full\-stack web development and database management at ArcelorMittal Dofasco, using \.NET, C\#, Oracle PL/SQL, SAS, and Python, and contributed to industrial robotics, computer vision, and automation design at TS Tech Canada Inc\. Sunny earned a Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering from McMaster University in 2025, with a research focus on self\-play reinforcement\-learning models\. Sunny prioritizes getting work right before shipping it\.
