Building reliable software for vehicles, factories, and fleets.

Hi, I'm Max Young (Le Yang). I have 13+ years of experience building production systems, including 4+ years in autonomous driving. I specialise in vehicle platforms, SOTA/FOTA systems, calibration tooling, and fleet operations software, with end-to-end ownership from product definition and architecture through implementation and production deployment.

Selected impact

3× faster deployments Reduced average vehicle software deployment time from about 30 to 10 minutes.
25× deployment scale Expanded SOTA deployment capacity from 200 to 5,000 vehicles.
30+ vehicles per day Raised factory calibration throughput from 2–3 to more than 30 vehicles daily.
Under 3 minutes Cut field calibration from 0.5–1 day to under three minutes.

What I work on

At Rino.ai, I own architecture, product definition, and technical direction for a vehicle-platform team. I have built reusable delivery infrastructure for R&D, factory, and fleet operations—including a distributed FOTA MVP for TBOX/ADCU nodes, an end-to-end vehicle calibration platform, and fleet incident and route-delivery tools. The work spans failure recovery, power-loss safety, large-map distribution, resumable transfers, deployment automation, service health, and version/state consistency across thousands of vehicles.

Earlier, I built backend and full-stack systems for online education, e-commerce, and B2B SaaS at Dedao and Kaoshixing. My background began in geomatics and map quality, which continues to inform my work on vehicle data, mapping, calibration, and field operations.
