Vivian Hu is a founder and software engineer with nine years of experience blending machine learning, data science, and product-building across academia and industry. After contributing ML-driven materials research and teaching at UIUC, she joined Google as a software engineer and analytics intern before launching a stealth startup in Mountain View. Her academic background spans computer science, statistics, chemistry and business, enabling her to bridge lab-scale modeling and production ML systems. She has a track record of founding and scaling student-facing platforms and technical products, and her GitHub motto—纸上得来终觉浅,绝知此事要躬行—reflects a pragmatic, hands-on approach to turning theory into working systems.
