Summary
Weili Xu is a Team Lead and former CTO with eight years of experience building cloud platforms and mission-critical energy applications that bridge research, product, and operations. Based in Seattle, she leads a multidisciplinary team at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developing widely used tools like Asset Score, COMcheck/REScheck, Home Energy Score and an open-source Ruleset Checking Tool to streamline building energy code compliance. Her background combines a PhD in Building Performance with hands-on product and engineering leadership at startups (BuildSimHub, Tech Prefab), where she designed cloud model management and prefab construction platforms. Comfortable both in research and product delivery, she has a track record of translating building-science models into scalable software and developer APIs. Not obvious at first glance: she has alternated between deep academic modeling work and founding CTO roles, giving her rare fluency in energy modeling, cloud engineering, and product strategy.
