Shu Wu is a seasoned software engineer and technical leader with 19 years building large-scale products and teams across tech giants and startups, now a Member of Technical Staff in Seattle. He has led major systems at Facebook (Timeline, Computational Photography) and managed teams at Apple, while also co-founding a startup (Augment) out of AI2 where he owned prototype-to-raise execution and the platform architecture. Shu combines deep systems and product instincts—shipping low-latency, cost-efficient infrastructure and novel media experiences used by millions—with a strong track record in data-driven experimentation and A/B testing. Notably, his background spans embedded firmware and ASIC work through cloud platforms and visual UX, reflecting an uncommon breadth from hardware to computational photography. He prefers hands-on problem solving and has repeatedly turned early prototypes into shipped features and businesses.
