I’m Albert Yu

I’m a systems-minded designer and developer with 10 years of experience building for the web.

My work focuses on delivering memorable experiences for meaningful products, with an interest towards practicing constraint-based design and inclusive design.

Currently at Neat (acq. Rapyd) – a modern fintech platform for businesses on the web.

I’m not looking for new opportunities at this time 🙂

About this site

I’m redesigning in the open. At the moment I’m using Next.js and theme-ui so I can quickly try out some ideas.

It deploys via GitHub Actions and runs on Docker on AWS, deliberately over-engineered so I can keep up with modern ways to deploy a website.

I recently restored the previous version of this site using SvelteKit to try out Svelte 🧑‍💻.
