Summary
Jiawei Ou is a senior software engineer with 14 years of experience building reliable, large-scale media and AI systems across companies like Google, Facebook, Loom, Atlassian, and Figma. He combines deep systems and ML expertise—having shipped cross-platform real-time video stacks, pioneered on-device video pipelines, and built end-to-end speech models that enable zero-shot voice editing—to solve high-impact product problems. At Loom and Atlassian he led architectural overhauls that improved crash-free rates and slashed storage costs, and at Loom personally developed the AI models behind a production speech-editing feature. Comfortable moving between research-grade R&D (EGSR publication and a patent from DreamWorks) and pragmatic product engineering, he also navigates stakeholder alignment and AI strategy at the org level. Based in Bellevue, WA, Jiawei has a PhD in Computer Science and a track record of turning difficult, cross-platform media challenges into resilient, shipped products.
