Summary
Kuangwei Zhang is an engineering manager with 11 years of experience building large-scale systems and ML-driven personalization at Meta (and previously Facebook), Microsoft Azure, and LinkedIn. He combines hands-on backend and distributed systems expertise—REST APIs, high-availability NoSQL, ETL, real-time monitoring—with practical ML work in ranking, personalization, and non-parametric learning. Known for shipping production-grade services for CDN and content ranking, he also tackles rapid-response ML problems and heterogeneous treatment-effect modeling across text, image, and context. Based in Redmond, he pairs strong academic roots (RIT, summa cum laude) with an operator mindset from on-call livesite management and measurement-driven productization. An active practitioner of scikit-learn, pandas, numpy, and xgboost, he brings both engineering rigor and curiosity to challenging ML and systems problems.
