Michael Zhou is a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead at Google with 11 years of experience building data pipelines, reliability tooling, and ML experiment platforms for Ads. He combines deep systems and C++ expertise from autonomous-vehicle infrastructure with production ML and data tooling experience at scale, having contributed to TensorFlow and Google Ads serving work during his early career. Michael spans the stack—from low-latency onboard sensor fusion and configuration metaprogramming to large-scale data pipelines and insights—while leading coverage and reliability efforts. He holds an M.S. in Computer Science from USC and a B.E. from Zhejiang University, and his background in research (GANs and finance-text models) reflects a habit of turning novel academic ideas into production-ready systems. Notably, he was one of the founding infrastructure engineers at WeRide.ai, where he built core tooling that bridged embedded C++ systems and higher-level Python/SQL pipelines.
