Originally from Jinhua, Enpu You is a software engineer currently based in Seattle. He has spent the last few years building the backend components behind enterprise software, and more recently, sed.i, a tool for his own personal reading and curation. A graduate from Allegheny College with double majors in Computer Science and Classical Piano, he is currently completing the master's program in information systems at the University of Washington.

Previously at ScienceLogic, he worked on webhook service, metric ingestion and postprocessing pipelines, and components for multi-tenant analytics for IT observability software.

Outside of work, he managed dv, an independent record store and venue focused on vinyl, natural wine, and experimental music in Suzhou; co-owned a community café in Pittsburgh that led to the establishment of a city-wide crisis support program for frontline retail and food service workers.

Enpu also plays records for dance parties. Having performed at many venues in China and Japan, you can catch him behind the deck at Otherworld in Seattle every now and then, and his latest mix on Apple Music.
