From Hacker Dreams to Cloud MVP: Lessons from Huawei’s Yu Cheng on Full‑Stack Success
In this interview, Huawei Cloud MVP Yu Cheng shares his journey from a high‑school hacker fascination to a decade of full‑stack development across top tech firms, his transition to teaching, his philosophy of sparking curiosity, and practical advice for aspiring programmers seeking a full‑stack career.
Interview Overview
In 2021 HDZ launched the “百佬汇” expert interview series to connect developers with industry veterans. The sixth episode features Huawei Cloud MVP Yu Cheng, a former Alibaba technical expert and IBM architect with over ten years of full‑stack development experience.
Career Journey
Yu Cheng chose the internet field after being inspired by hacker movies in high school and leveraging his strong math background to study computer science. He has worked at companies such as Alibaba, Qunar, Ctrip, Meitu and IBM, noting that each has its own strengths.
Why Teaching?
After progressing from junior programmer to senior, architect, and technical manager, Yu Cheng turned to teaching to share the lessons he learned, while still conducting R&D in cloud computing and big‑data technologies like Hadoop, Spark and Flink.
Teaching Philosophy

Courses and Plans
Yu Cheng has released four complete courses on Huawei Cloud Academy, conducts live streams, and gives offline lectures. He is currently recording two new courses on JavaScript and Vue 3, and plans a live session on Huawei’s HarmonyOS.
Advice for Programmers
