Tianhua Zhao is a Data Science Engineer in Seattle with eight years of experience building data-driven systems for autonomous driving and analytics platforms. At Cruise he evaluates on-road and simulation data to inform driverless software releases, blending product-facing metrics with rigorous data science. Previously he built data pipelines and a C++ statistical language runtime at TIBCO and developed motion planning and trajectory generation algorithms in C++ for robotics and autonomous vehicles. Comfortable across the stack—from simulation and path planning to production data workflows—he combines a mathematics background and a computer science master’s to translate complex models into operational decisions. An engineer who bridges research and production, he’s as fluent in Jenkins-driven CI and C++ runtimes as he is in shaping release decisions from real-world driving data.
