Rui Chao is a software engineer with nine years of experience, currently building Oculus Systems UX at Meta Reality Labs where he focuses on MR/VR system features and user-facing platform work. He combines strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, system design and object-oriented programming with practical experience shipping cloud-backed services and tooling from internships at Microsoft and product work that reached 20k DAU. Rui’s background is unusually interdisciplinary—holding a BFA in Fashion Design and an MS in Computer Science—bringing design sensibility to engineering problems and a knack for translating user research into product features. He has delivered resilient backend workflows (dead-letter handling, scheduled orchestrators) and front-end UX features, and thrives at the intersection of systems reliability and immersive user experiences.
