Yibo Zhu is a VP of Engineering and founding member of an AGI startup with 10 years of experience building hyperscale AI and cloud infrastructure. He has led large engineering organizations and shipped foundational systems at ByteDance, Microsoft, and Google, including compiler stacks, distributed training/inference frameworks, RDMA-enabled networking, and cluster scheduling for trillion-parameter models. His work at Microsoft produced widely adopted datacenter innovations (e.g., DCQCN and large-scale telemetry) and practical RDMA/TCP solutions for Kubernetes-based AI workloads. At ByteDance he scaled teams of 100+ to deliver production ML infra across CV, NLP, speech, and recommender systems while bootstrapping long-term research projects. He combines deep academic pedigree (PhD with multiple SIGCOMM/MobiCom papers) with hands-on product execution, and recently traded a senior Google infra role to pursue ambitious AGI engineering. Based in Kirkland, WA, he blends systems research rigor with startup velocity to move bleeding-edge AI infrastructure into production.
