Shawn Zhu is a Product General Manager at Baidu and the founder of MeDo, where he builds no-code AI tools to turn ideas into apps and websites with minimal friction. With a PhD candidacy in Machine Intelligence and deep reinforcement learning from Tsinghua and nine years of industry experience, he bridges cutting-edge research in sample-efficient RL with product and engineering execution. He has hands-on algorithm experience from an internship at Alibaba and a track record of shipping AI-driven products at scale. Shawn combines rigorous academic training in representation learning, episodic control, and model-based RL with practical product leadership in Beijing’s Haidian District. He’s as comfortable prototyping ML models as he is defining roadmaps that democratize AI development. An active researcher and practitioner, he leverages his academic homepage and GitHub presence to translate novel RL ideas into user-facing tooling.
