Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Yao is a hands-on data scientist and distributed/AI systems architect with over 11 years of software experience and 5+ years focused on machine learning. He designs and operates cloud and on‑premise AI platforms at scale, having transformed a monolithic bot system into a containerized microservices platform that supported millions of users and lifted QPS from 2 to 2000+. As a builder and leader he has grown engineering and DevOps teams from scratch (now 15 and 6 members), cut deployment time from weeks to minutes, and delivered production AI to major clients including Huawei, OPPO, and China Merchants Bank. His Ph.D. in Computer Science underpins deep expertise in networking, large‑scale simulation, and ML, and he pairs that research background with pragmatic SRE practices across GCP/AWS/Azure, Kubernetes, and CI/CD. Notably, he has operationalized conversational AI at peak retail loads (200K+ dialogues/day) and led integrations that generated the majority of his former company’s revenue. Based in Taiwan, he blends academic rigor with proven product delivery and platform reliability skills.
