Summary
Haitao Mei is a Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years building high-performance systems and platform infrastructure across Google DeepMind, Meta, Apple, and IBM. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of York with deep expertise in real-time OS design, concurrent and parallel computing, and scheduling theory, and has contributed to the Java Language Specification (JSR 282). His career spans cloud-native deployments, large-scale and embedded ML, and low-latency platform engineering, frequently blending systems research with production-grade implementation in Java, C, and C++. Known as a rigorous reviewer for top conferences, he brings both academic rigor and hands-on delivery to complex scheduling and concurrency challenges. Based in Stony Stratford, England, he pairs a research-driven mindset with practical experience shipping scalable infrastructure at major tech companies. A less obvious strength is his cross-domain fluency: moving from embedded real-time systems to applied ML infrastructure while maintaining a focus on predictable, high-performance behavior.
