Hengrui Xing is a software engineer based in New York with nine years of experience building and optimizing large-scale e-commerce systems at Meta. He combines a strong academic foundation in computer science and physics from Columbia with hands-on experience across backend microservices (Java, Go, Spring), front-end frameworks (AngularJS, Bootstrap, Ionic), mobile iOS development, and data analytics pipelines. His background ranges from research roles and numerical simulation to production deployment on AWS and Docker, reflecting both analytical rigor and practical engineering. At Meta he focuses on performance and platform improvements for commerce, while earlier roles show a knack for automating analytics and integrating ML/statistical methods into product decisions. Colleagues would note his ability to move between low-level algorithmic thinking (e.g., OCR preprocessing, PDE simulation) and shipping user-facing features at scale.
