Chao Xie is a Principal Software Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with six years of professional experience building high-throughput ML serving and data infrastructure at Meta and Google. He has driven architecture and productionization for Ads ML serving and large-scale online ML workloads, helping serve hundreds of millions of queries per second across diverse hardware. His background includes building stateful, low-latency data pipelines that processed millions of events per second and supported multi-petabyte state for ads attribution systems. An author of infrastructure-focused contributions to the widely used tensorflow/serving project, he emphasizes deployability, performance monitoring, and reproducible builds (including CUDA and Docker improvements). Trained as a distributed systems researcher with a Ph.D. from UT Austin and a B.E. from Tsinghua, he blends rigorous academic grounding with pragmatic, production-first engineering. Colleagues describe him as an operator-engineer who finds elegant system-level fixes that unlock measurable revenue and reliability gains.
