Summary
Yufei Hu is a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic with nine years of experience building high-performance distributed systems, especially control planes, caching, and datastore services. He has deep hands-on expertise in Golang and Rust and has architected large-scale caching infrastructure at Stripe that saved millions annually, improved latency, and earned him first-named inventor patents. His background includes building a distributed datastore on RocksDB, owning a global Bastion agent and rollout at Oracle, and delivering data platforms and ETL systems across cloud-native environments. Comfortable shipping 0→1 systems and iterating on production-critical engines, he bridges low-level storage work with operational reliability at scale. Based in California, he blends academic training in electrical and computer engineering with practical results across security, caching, and storage, and maintains a backend-focused open-source orientation.
