Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBohan Zhang is a software engineer with nine years of experience focused on AI, large-scale systems, and their intersection, currently working as a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI. He co-founded OtterTune, an AI-driven automatic database tuning startup spun out of CMU that raised $15M and grew from a decade of academic research into a production service. His background blends research and engineering—at CMU he helped build OtterTune and publish in SIGMOD/VLDB, and at Databricks and Striim he optimized graph and streaming analytics for multi-fold speedups. Bohan is skilled at turning database and distributed-systems research into practical, high-performance products and algorithms. Now based in Beijing, he brings startup founder grit together with hands-on systems optimization experience inside leading AI and data-platform organizations. A less obvious strength is his track record of squeezing large performance gains from algorithmic tweaks in production workloads rather than relying solely on infrastructure scale.
