Top SchoolKe Xu is a Software Engineer II at AWS with eight years of experience building reliable, production-grade systems and data pipelines across cloud, research, and embedded domains. With a strong foundation in data structures and algorithms and a Master’s in Data Informatics from USC, he has moved from research at ISI—where he built extraction tools, knowledge graphs, and achieved high entity linking precision—to shipping scalable services at AWS. He has hands-on experience designing storage and sync infrastructure using S3, DynamoDB, Lambda and observability with CloudWatch, and has improved performance in distributed systems from Cassandra tuning to kernel benchmark storage. Comfortable across Python, backend services, and data preprocessing, he also brings practical product sense—having built user-facing Flask interfaces and CLI tooling for engineers. Based in Seattle, he combines research rigor with operational experience and a knack for turning messy, noisy data into actionable systems.
