Zhaoyi Wei is a software engineer and leader with 9 years of experience building high‑performance perception, simulation, and HD mapping systems for autonomous platforms. He has driven end‑to‑end scenario and perception simulation stacks at Waymo, co‑founded and led engineering at a robotics vision startup, and now contributes to Tesla’s autonomous software efforts from Cupertino. His background blends deep computer vision research (Ph.D.) with production systems engineering—from camera drivers at NVIDIA to real‑world HD map pipelines at Apple—resulting in solutions that improved productivity and efficiency by orders of magnitude. Known for turning research into robust, scalable pipelines, he also brings an operator’s mindset informed by hands‑on system optimization and a penchant for blockchain culture (ETH to the moon) that hints at broad technical curiosity.
