Summary
🤩
RockstarQirong Ho is a software leader who co-founded Petuum and serves as its CTO while also holding an assistant professorship at MBZUAI and a Ph.D. in Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon. He specializes in industrializing scalable, distributed ML systems—leading the open-source Petuum/CASL project since 2012 and deploying solutions for clients like Singtel, DBS Bank, and Airbus. His background spans hands-on optimization of production ML (including a Facebook internship optimizing ads on a 1,000-machine cluster) to mentoring students as an adjunct at SMU. Unusually, he balances startup CTO responsibilities with active academic research and teaching, bridging theory and production-grade ML software.
