Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWudao Ling is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with 9 years of experience building perception, robotics, and machine learning systems for autonomous vehicles and surgical vision. He has driven production ML features at Cruise—spanning object attention, door-opening prediction, scene encoding, occupancy grids and occlusion reasoning—and now works on agent interaction at Zoox. Comfortable in Python, C++ and MATLAB, he integrates classical vision tools like OpenCV with modern frameworks such as TensorFlow and scikit-learn to move research ideas into deployed systems. His academic work at UPenn’s GRASP Lab under Prof. Jianbo Shi contributed self-supervised video segmentation and monocular depth approaches for dynamic 3D reconstruction, illustrating a knack for combining theory with practical pipelines. Colleagues note strong vendor communication and fast adaptability in high-change environments, and his background across robotics, perception and learning means he often bridges sensor-level algorithms and higher-level planning.
