Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSusan Gao is a Director of Engineering with a decade-plus track record building cloud-native PaaS/SaaS and highly available, massively scalable distributed systems from product inception through commercial delivery. She combines deep low-level expertise—kernel, device drivers, multimedia frameworks, power management and ARM platforms—with hands-on cloud architecture and team leadership at AWS. As co-founder/CTO of EMQ and founder of Ryedoo (acquired by LeEco), she blends entrepreneurial product instincts with large-scale engineering execution. Her background shipping consumer hardware and firmware at Motorola and Apple gives her a rare cross-domain fluency between silicon, embedded software, and cloud services. Based in Cupertino, she’s known for pragmatic debugging chops and a history of integrating diverse vendors’ hardware into reliable products. Susan’s profile reflects both systems-level depth and the ability to translate that into scalable cloud offerings and delivered products.
