Profile: https://flows.cv/chiweihsieh

I’m a backend and infra engineer with a product-first mindset, driven by the belief that great infrastructure isn’t just about scale and uptime — it’s about unlocking what teams can build on top of it. At WeRide, I designed and shipped a Kubernetes-based Cloud IDE serving 500+ engineers worldwide, not just optimizing GPU utilization by 40% but fundamentally reshaping developer workflows. I’ve rebuilt CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment times by 80% and crafted secure, developer-friendly systems that accelerate iteration without compromising compliance.

My journey spans CMU’s Scalable Systems program to hands-on experience across autonomous driving and large-scale analytics, where I’ve consistently bridged the gap between technical rigor and product impact. Whether it’s distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, or real-time data pipelines, I focus on building the invisible foundations that make bold product bets possible.
