Founder And CEO at Startup in Stealth Mode
China
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhil Cui is a founder and CEO with a decade of hands-on experience building ML-driven systems and leading interdisciplinary engineering teams. He previously led DiDi’s next-generation route planning engine—delivered to millions of users—and managed international RP deployments that outperformed Google on key similarity and reliability metrics. Before that he led data science efforts at Trend Micro, shipping GNN and detection models that helped the Mac AV product rank top in independent tests and winning the company’s global AI contest. His background blends academic research in haptics and teaching at Drexel with practical expertise in production ML, graph models, and large-scale system delivery. Known for mentoring junior engineers to exceed expectations, he now applies that product-to-ML leadership in a stealth startup. An uncommon thread in his work is combining research-grade ideas (haptics, graph neural networks) with production engineering to drive measurable business impact.
