Summary
Xiaoguang Zhu is a software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable, product-focused systems across Google, ByteDance/TikTok, and early-stage fintech at Aven. He has led and shipped core ad infrastructure and brand safety products at TikTok—rising from senior engineer to engineering manager guiding a 10-person team—and earlier contributed to Gmail intelligence and Lark Mail features. At Aven he now applies growth-focused engineering to make capital more accessible, working on direct mail systems that bridge product marketing and backend reliability. Trained at Carnegie Mellon and SJTU, he blends strong distributed-systems and product instincts with hands-on full-stack delivery, and is comfortable moving between individual contributor depth and people leadership. An understated strength is his cross-domain experience turning research-grade features (email/ML tooling) into production workflows that scale to millions of users.
