Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Hu is a software engineering manager with 15+ years of experience building high-performance virtualization and cloud infrastructure across startups and hyperscalers. Currently leading the Network Control Plane team at Google Cloud, he architects control plane software for IPUs and SmartNICs to offload and accelerate networking and storage for large AI/ML workloads. Previously as Sr. Director at Aviatrix and R&D manager at VMware, he built cross-geo teams that delivered scalable analytics, ML-driven anomaly detection, cost-optimization features, and line-rate virtual routers with hitless upgrades. He combines strategic product roadmapping with hands-on systems engineering—kernel tweaks to distributed control planes—and a track record of shipping rollbacks, selective upgrades, and automated release workflows. Known for shaping global teams and translating complex infra problems into operational products, he also brings an uncommon blend of networking, ML, and observability expertise from his UCSC graduate work. Based in San Jose, he excels at connecting low-level performance engineering with customer-facing analytics and control planes that drive measurable business outcomes.
