Summary
Xi Yao is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building ML/DL systems, currently at Microsoft after a key role in Ping An’s US Research Lab. He specializes in few-shot and representation learning, object detection, semantic segmentation and model acceleration, and has delivered production cloud services for vehicle damage assessment and accident fault determination. Xi combines academic rigor (M.S. in Computer Science from Rutgers) with practical engineering, implementing rotated bounding box detectors, multi-task DeepLabV3+ segmentation, and real-world coordinate reconstruction for safety-critical applications. He is fluent in PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras and Caffe and has a strong background in computer vision applied to insurance and geospatial problems. Based in Greater Seattle, he brings a track record of turning research prototypes into scalable services that meet real-world constraints. An uncommon strength is his breadth across robotics-style perception, remote sensing, and industry-scale deployment.
