Michael Wu is a software engineer based in Seattle with six years of industry experience building and shipping ML-enabled systems at companies including Meta, Google, Intel, Mythic, and Hume AI. He combines low-level C++ expertise and Python-based deep learning work (NumPy, OpenCV, PyTorch) to optimize models for deployment on edge hardware and cloud platforms, with hands-on experience in PlaidML and Movidius integrations. At PlaidML he contributed backend fixes, OpenCL improvements, an edge-padding tensor op and a transfer-learning demo, signaling a pragmatic focus on portability and performance. His background in electrical engineering (UCLA MS/BS) and early manufacturing/equipment roles gives him a systems-minded approach to bridging model research and production constraints.
