Summary
Ji Cao is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building production-grade systems in AR/VR, embedded platforms, and medical imaging, currently working at Meta. He combines deep signal and image processing expertise from a PhD and years in ultrasound system design with practical skills in C/C++, Python, real-time streaming (WebRTC), and game-engine development on Unreal. Ji has shipped embedded and high-performance code across ARM, TI DSPs, and x86 with SIMD optimizations, and prototyped sensor calibration and synthetic data pipelines for depth sensing and ML. His background spans research-to-product delivery—bridging Matlab algorithm design to optimized C/C++ implementations—and includes hands-on work at Philips, Nintendo, and university labs. Notably, he brings uncommon domain crossover: medical ultrasound acoustics and real-time VR/AR sensing, enabling rigorous system design informed by both clinical-grade signal processing and consumer-scale streaming constraints.
