Summary
Yuhao (Carl) Wu is a pragmatic software engineer with eight years of experience building large-scale backend systems and AI-integrated features across TikTok, AWS, Meta, and startups. He has a Master’s in Computer and Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh and a track record of shipping high-impact services—e.g., Photo Mode and AIGC pipelines at TikTok that handled 100M daily requests and measurably improved engagement metrics. At AWS he architected data lake integrations and operationalized reliable ingestion and monitoring for thousands of customers, and at Housa.ai he led OpenAI integration that helped the startup land in the top 10% of its YC batch. Comfortable across Golang, Java, distributed messaging, and cloud-native tooling, he favors pragmatic abstractions (DTOs/ORMs/IDLs) to make features observable and scalable. Colleagues know him as a hands-on mentor who blends product-minded delivery with deep systems thinking.
