Edward Lu is a Software Engineer at Facebook at Facebook. He possess expertise in natural language processing, python, javascript, c++, java and 1 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I mentored Ed during his two co-op internships with our content understanding team at Yahoo. In 2017 he worked closely with research scientists to tune algorithm hyperparameters, and contributed his analysis to a research paper accepted at a Yahoo-internal conference. In 2018 he did more traditional engineering, writing custom code to use Python machine-learned models in our Java production system. These varied projects demonstrate Ed’s versatility--he can do system coding, performance testing, and research experimentation, and work fluently in Java, Scala, and Python. One of Ed's greatest strengths is that he can solve problems on his own by being resourceful. When he did ask for help, his questions were focused on only the details he couldn’t find after first searching himself. He showed growth in his second internship by applying what he had learned the previous year, taking ownership of a larger project, and working independently like any full-time engineer on our team. I know Ed will find continued success and I hope to work with him again in the future."
