Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCharles Shang is a Principal Software Engineer based in California with 11 years of experience building production ML systems and large-scale data pipelines. At Roblox he led projects from voice safety systems and face/voice tracking to pioneering 3D mesh generation and a text- and box-conditioned Cube 1.0 model, and recently built a world-model training platform from scratch. His background blends academic rigor (PhD from Tsinghua) with hands-on engineering—contributing notable open-source work on deformable convolutional networks and a Mask R-CNN implementation that emphasize numerical stability and production readiness. Known for turning research ideas into robust, efficient pipelines, he pairs deep learning research experience with practical system design for real-time, large-scale applications.
