Summary
Xiang Fu is a Senior Video Algorithm Engineer at Apple with 14 years of experience applying computer vision, machine learning, and signal-processing techniques to real-world multimedia problems. He holds advanced degrees (MS, second MS, and PhD) from USC and has a strong academic-to-industry trajectory that includes research internships at Microsoft Research Asia and extensive video-engineering co-ops. Xiang’s skill set spans low-level C/C++ and codec work through high-level deep learning with PyTorch, with practical experience in FFmpeg integration, compressed-domain ad detection, video matting, and night-time enhancement pipelines. At Apple he has progressed from intern to senior engineer, bringing production-grade algorithm design and optimization for macOS/Linux/embedded targets. Notably, his background in LDPC/RS coding and FPGA-based decoders gives him uncommon depth in error-correction and video coding fundamentals alongside modern AI-driven approaches. Based in San Jose, he combines research rigor with a track record of shipping applied multimedia solutions at scale.
