Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Zheng is an Information Systems Engineer with nine years of experience designing and operating Linux-first datacenter and cloud infrastructure, currently supporting OpenStack and Ceph at the University of Colorado Boulder. He specializes in distributed object storage, high-availability clustering, containerization, and automation (notably using Ansible) to eliminate “snowflake” systems and drive repeatable, scalable operations. Adam pairs hands-on technical work with a commitment to teamwork, dialogic communication, and training—regularly leading local and conference presentations and creating course material on Linux and containerization. His background spans both open-source and Microsoft ecosystems, with practical experience integrating Ceph storage for KVM and Hyper-V and implementing regional SAML2 federations. He holds dual majors in Computer Science and Information Technology with a mathematics minor from the University of Nebraska at Kearney, and outside work pursues aviation, hiking/climbing, and photography. An often-overlooked strength is translating complex infrastructure requirements into teachable content and tooling that empowers operations teams.
