Estella Xin is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable backend systems and ML workflows, currently contributing full-stack to the Machine Learning Workflow team at Weights & Biases in New York. She has deep experience in artifact management and storage optimizations—adding artifact timeouts, reference handling, S3 multipart uploads, and resolving circular metadata reference bugs in the widely used wandb platform. Prior roles include real-time bond pricing infrastructure at Bloomberg and backend Golang work at Uber, plus data engineering and full-stack internships that shaped a pragmatic, performance-minded approach. A Turing Scholar with a concentration in machine learning from UT Austin, she blends production-grade engineering with ML infrastructure know-how and a knack for shipping robust, scalable systems.
