Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZheng Wu is a Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer in Sunnyvale with nine years of experience building production ML systems and data infrastructure across Meta, GoFundMe, TAL Education, and Stanford. He combines hands-on engineering—Spark/Scala pipelines, Redshift/Airflow orchestration, and back-end model training—with people leadership, having grown a Silicon Valley R&D team from 0 to 18 and mentored engineering managers. At Meta he focuses on feed modeling at scale, while earlier roles show a track record of driving product adoption, building company-wide experiment frameworks, and delivering executive-facing analytics. He’s an active contributor to DeepChem, enhancing dataset processing and model evaluation for drug discovery and computational chemistry, reflecting a strong interest in open-source scientific ML. Trained at Stanford (MS in Management Science & Engineering and CS), he blends research rigor with pragmatic product delivery and a knack for translating complex models into measurable business impact.
