Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRui Zhang is a software engineer and machine learning systems specialist with a PhD in Electrical Engineering and over a decade of experience delivering high-throughput, highly available backend and ML platforms. At Meta he led infrastructure and model-system co-design work to scale transformer-style recommendation models to trillion-parameter regimes, cutting costs 2–7x and enabling launches across Reels and Feed. Previously he built ML, real-time bidding and big data platforms at Microsoft and developed wireless coexistence and sensor-network systems at Broadcom and Intel-GE, giving him rare cross-domain depth from embedded systems to cloud-native ML. He codes across C/C++, Go, Java, Python and has hands-on expertise with Kubernetes, Spark, Kafka, TF/PyTorch and distributed sharding/quantization challenges. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends rigorous research training with product-focused engineering and a pragmatic focus on GPU/kernel-level to end-to-end optimizations.
