Summary
Hai Mai is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience building and scaling systems across Google, Alphabet X projects, and startups. Currently a staff engineer at Google DeepMind working on Gemini, automation, tools, and modeling, he also co-founded Arta Finance to "make trades happen," blending deep product and infrastructure experience. His background spans consumer platforms like Drive and Play, robotics/air delivery at Wing, and confidential research initiatives, giving him a rare mix of production engineering and research-driven work. A Berkeley CS alum who once gave the 2013 commencement speech, he’s equally comfortable mentoring teams as he is diving into low-level optimizations and automation. Colleagues know him for quietly reducing operational risk and shipping complex systems under confidentiality constraints. Based in Berkeley, he brings an entrepreneurial mindset to AI tooling and financial systems integration.
