Xiaoya Wei is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale, cloud-native systems and privacy-preserving distributed platforms. She has led the creation of Airbnb’s knowledge graph and returned to Airbnb in 2024 after architecting a fault-tolerant SMPC platform and Rust-based distributed computation engine at Sudo Privacy Technology. Her background includes building elastic video streaming backends for ML at Google and practical experience in feed ranking from an internship at Facebook, reflecting strong systems and ML infrastructure skills. Holding a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, she combines rigorous research training with hands-on implementation of high-availability, federated analytics and scheduling frameworks. Notably, she blends low-level systems engineering (Rust, distributed fault tolerance) with privacy-first designs for multi-party computation, a rare intersection in production-grade platforms.
