About Me
Hello World! My name is Zhiming Xu (许致明). I’m a software engineer at Otter.ai. I build our products for Enterprise customers. My past projects include building our first public API platform, HIPAA compliance, and domain lock. Most recently, I worked on data ingestion at Lacework, once a cloud security unicorn, and bailed out after its fire sale to Fortinet a disastrous exit.
I completed my master degree at University of Virginia a premature exit. I did my undergraduate at Department of Computer Science, Nanjing University.
I was born in Xiangyang (襄阳, literally the north side of the Xiang River), a beautiful city lying by the Han River in the central part of China and lived there for most of the time before graduating from Xiangyang No.5 High School. I love travel (to historical places) and photography (landscape and architecture). You can see my photos on my Instagram.
