# Xiaoming S. > Software Engineer at Microsoft Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/xiaoming ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Microsoft Jan 2021 – Present Mixed Reality Built synthetic pipelines (C++) to simulate devices and generate synthetic sensor data (IMU, images, etc) for multiple types of Mixed Reality products (controllers, headsets, etc.). The synthetics pipelines were used by different teams across Mixed Reality for hardware prototyping, AI and CV algorithms development. Synthetics data were created using hyper realistic environments for targeted products and scenarios, which dramatically improved the hardware and software iteration speed. Conceived and implemented the simulation workflows (C++, Python, C#) of synthetic human (SMPL) with virtual devices for environment understanding teams. Added the new capabilities to generate simulation data with animated humans for complex multi-player, multi-device scenarios. Designed and implemented micro services (Python) leveraging Nvidia Omniverse to provide a synthetic platform (USD) for engineers to compose synthetic scenes, prototype virtual devices, generate and visualize trajectories, ect., in real time. Built metrics pipelines (C#) to evaluate overall product quality through Ground Truth data with a massively distributed computational and storage platform. Implemented telemetry pipeline, analyzed in-market telemetry data, and built data visualizations with Power BI to quantify customer focused product performance and quality issues, resulting in software updates and hardware design changes. ### Application Scientist @ Onto Innovation Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 ### DevOps Engineer @ Insight Data Science Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 • Developed a secure and high-available infrastructure to deploy a ML app on AWS using Flask and Terraform • Implemented auto-scalable clusters that ran Docker containers by using AWS ECS and AWS CloudWatch • Built a CI/CD pipeline for the application using GitHub, AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodePipeline ### Research And Teaching Assistant @ University of Florida Jan 2014 – Jan 2019 | Gainesville, Florida Area ### Summer Student @ Yale University Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 Summer School ## Education ### Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Chemistry University of Florida ### Master's degree in Computer Science Georgia Institute of Technology ### Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry Renmin University of China ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/xiaomingsu --- Source: https://flows.cv/xiaoming JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/xiaoming/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-23
