Yuxin Cui is a research scientist in Seattle with 10 years of experience building scalable recommendation systems and applied machine learning solutions, currently focused on video and Reels recommendations at Facebook. He combines deep academic training (PhD in Computer Science) with hands-on software engineering across Python, JavaScript, Java and C++, and production ML stacks including TensorFlow/PyTorch, Spark/Hadoop, and SQL-based data pipelines. Yuxin has a strong computer vision and data-analysis background (OpenCV, Matlab, scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy) and practical experience teaching and mentoring university courses in algorithms, databases, and scientific programming. Known for bridging research and production, he repeatedly turns academic methods into deployable systems and also brings classroom-tested approaches to real-world engineering problems. An understated strength is his cross-domain fluency—from bioinformatics roots to large-scale recommender infrastructure—which helps him navigate both model development and systems engineering.
