Senior🎓
Top SchoolYu He is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Jose with 11 years of experience building high-performance, distributed systems that scale across datacenters. Currently at Meta after several impactful roles at VMware, Yu has driven core optimizations for NSX’s Central Controller, designed a proxy-based cross-site data synchronization protocol, and rewritten critical algorithms in Rust and DDlog to double performance and memory efficiency. His work blends practical systems engineering—kernel networking and congestion control research that yielded dramatic throughput gains—with production-grade distributed control plane design. A Carnegie Mellon MS in Information Networking complements his hands-on mentoring of engineers and contributions to infrastructure that enable large-scale, multi-site reliability. Notably, he has repeatedly moved single-threaded bottlenecks to multithreaded producer-consumer models, revealing a pattern of finding and eliminating systemic performance limits.
