Hao Wu is a Frontend Developer with a decade of programming experience and a strong open-source track record since 2019. He blends low-level C/C++ and systems work with modern frontend stacks—embedding JavaScript (QuickJS/Sciter), TypeScript, and experiments with Solid.js and WebGPU—to build native and web-capable UIs. At Glodon USA he bridged C++ and JS, creating embedded APIs, i18n/build tool forks, and UI testing tools to accelerate onboarding. As a contributor to high-profile projects like the Dolphin emulator, he implemented cross-cutting features such as Discord Rich Presence and join-netplay integration. Based in Philadelphia, he leverages network programming, WebSockets, and occasional Rust/WASM to deliver interoperable, performance-minded solutions.
