Summary
Chris Wood is an AI Product Engineer based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building production software across AI/ML, mobile, backend services, devops, and OS-level projects. He’s shipped revenue-driving features at Meta—including a News Feed ads product and AR system work for Orion/Rayban smartglasses—and led org-level operational excellence efforts that applied LLMs to testing and bug triage. As a founder and hands-on engineer, Chris built and shipped multiple iOS products (including DayDayCook apps that hit App Store top charts) and created qckfx, a tool that converts manual iOS tests into maintenance-free automated tests. Comfortable working in multilingual, cross-cultural environments, he began as a self-taught engineer in Chinese startups and has repeatedly grown teams from the first hire to dozens of developers. He balances product rigor with inventive tooling—open-sourcing projects and building AI dev tools that streamline developer workflows—while pursuing interests in sports, reading, and investing.
