Austin Xu is an engineering manager at a Fortune-500 company in San Jose, CA, with 20 years in software engineering. He started as a junior engineer and rose to senior engineering manager, leading the cloud platform that supports $74B+ in GMV. He holds a master's degree from Zhejiang University. Austin is the #1 Claude Code user inside his Fortune-500 organization, where he has shipped MCP and Agent workflows into production and doubled his PR throughput. On the side, he has independently built 10+ AI systems spanning personal finance, growth tracking, and sports data. Outside of work he is a USTA national champion, a tennis and pickleball team captain, and an active member of the North American Chinese community — the same immigrant path as many of his students, just a step earlier onto the AI track.Austin 是硅谷一家 500 强企业的工程经理，写了 20 年代码。他从 Startup 基层程序员做起，一路做到大厂资深工程经理，带领支撑 $74B+ GMV 的云平台团队，浙大硕士毕业。他是公司内部 Claude Code 的头号用户，把 MCP 和 Agent 真正落地到生产环境，个人 PR 产出翻倍；业余还自主开发了 10 多个 AI 系统，覆盖理财、成长追踪、运动数据等场景。生活里，他是 USTA 全国冠军、网球与匹克球队长，积极参与北美华人社区——和你一样的华人路径，只是早一步踩进了 AI 这条赛道。他想分享的不是理论，而是在真实生产环境里踩过坑、跑通了的东西：写了 20 年代码，现在用 AI 写得更快、更好。
