Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXinwei Yao is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience at the intersection of computer graphics, machine learning, and large-scale distributed systems. Currently at Google DeepMind after driving generative-video capabilities at YouTube, he builds production-grade video generation research (Veo) that bridges cutting-edge ML and product requirements. His background includes low-latency, planet-scale search infrastructure at Google and document/vision AI on Google Cloud, reflecting a rare combination of systems engineering and ML research rigor. A Stanford PhD candidate and Yale-trained mathematician, he brings deep theoretical chops to practical engineering problems and has taught machine learning internally at Google. Based in Menlo Park, he pairs academic depth with a film buff’s sensibility, often applying visual and cinematic intuition to generative media problems. Colleagues say he’s as comfortable optimizing tail latency for trillions of documents as prototyping the next cinematic AI effect.
