Gang Liao

I build the systems that make ML work at scale โ€” from silicon to software. At MetaMeta, my work spans AI accelerator pre-silicon validation (ASIC), ads model-hardware co-design, GPU kernel & compiler optimization, model training & serving, data infrastructure, and agentic AI systems.

Trained by Daniel AbadiDaniel Abadi to never trust a single point of failure (Ph.D., University of Maryland).
