Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYuhao Su is a software engineer with 8 years of experience focused on backend systems and stream processing, currently building the RisingWave database kernel in Rust from Austin, Texas. At RisingWave he has implemented and optimized core stream operators—most notably the projection operator—and strengthened expression handling and test coverage in a high-performance event stream platform. His background includes a research internship at Microsoft Research Asia and a B.S. in Computer Science from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, giving him a solid mix of research rigor and production engineering. Comfortable working deep in systems code, he favors correctness and test-driven improvements that unlock low-latency, cost-efficient streaming. An active contributor to the RisingWave open-source project, he blends practical optimizations with thoughtful unit testing to make complex stream operators robust in real workloads. Not obvious from titles alone, he specializes in squeezing performance out of query/runtime operators while keeping semantics clear and maintainable.
