Bio
Diego von Sohsten 🏳️🌈
Yiwei exemplifies what a great partnership between Product and Engineering can look like. Not only does he have technical Eng. expertise in the billing/monetization space, but he also has extreme accountability. Yiwei legit cares about the success of the business and the initiatives he's part of, and that shows in the quality of his work, updates, and the level of his influence. Yiwei should also mean "bar raiser" :) The sky is the limit, my friend - working with you was a highlight of my time at Vidyard. Thank you for everything!

Yiwei worked with me on a recent assignment. He is an organized and thoughtful project manager. He quickly understood the mission and his role and delivered his assigned work packages. He is a critical thinker and great asset to the team. He is highly recommended, and I would work with him again.
