Rui Wu is a Staff ML Infrastructure Engineer based in Sunnyvale with eight years of experience building high-performance, concurrent systems for search, ML infra, and autonomous driving. He combines deep low-level systems expertise—Linux, libc, multithreading, and system programming—with practical ML infra and vector search experience from roles at Coupang, MongoDB, Waymo, and Google. Rui has led teams shipping Atlas Search features and designed evaluation and planner foundations for autonomous systems, demonstrating both technical leadership and hands-on optimization. He is especially strong at software-hardware co-design and performance tuning for complex, concurrent pipelines, often applying patterns like producer-consumer, master-worker, and select-based multiplexing. Outside of work he documents technical experiments and learnings on his tech blog, reflecting a habit of turning engineering work into shared knowledge.
