Summary
Haoxiang Xu is a software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently on the engineering team at TikTok after completing an ECE master’s at Carnegie Mellon. He has strong backend and systems expertise in Go and distributed infrastructure, demonstrated by production work at Meta (ads ML performance), Tencent (large-scale Go services and team leadership), and Pionex (gRPC, Kafka, Prometheus, and high-frequency trading bots). His Meta internship delivered GPU-saving early-stopping algorithms and a monitoring pipeline that tripled user engagement on alerts, showing a knack for practical ML performance improvements. Haoxiang pairs academic training with hands-on product impact across ads, trading, and legal workflow automation, often optimizing serialization and resource utilization. Based in Culver City, he blends large-company scale experience with a pragmatic, delivery-focused approach and a willingness to tackle both systems-level bottlenecks and operational monitoring.
