Liu Ke is a software engineer in San Jose with eight years of experience building high-performance systems at the intersection of research and production. He holds an MS and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis and a BE in Software Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University, blending rigorous academic research with practical engineering. Liu has moved between industry and research roles—serving as a visiting researcher at Meta, a performance architect at Tenstorrent, and returning to Meta as a software engineer—demonstrating deep expertise in performance optimization for AI/accelerator stacks. He is comfortable translating complex hardware-aware algorithms into production-grade software and often operates where systems, compilers, and ML workloads converge. Colleagues describe him as someone who pairs methodical experimental rigor from his PhD with the pragmatism needed to ship scalable systems.
