Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Zhu is a pragmatic software development engineer with 9 years of experience building scalable front-end, backend, and infrastructure systems, now focused on senior SDE roles in Metro Vancouver or remote. He has led large teams (up to 35) and delivered high-impact platforms—search, infra, and dev tooling—used by millions, combining hands-on work in Kubernetes, Go, React, and Elasticsearch with people leadership. Brian designed micro-frontend architectures and developer platforms that scaled to 100+ developers and cut release friction by 40%, and has architected high-throughput image pipelines and SSO/traffic-management infrastructure. He pairs deep system-design ownership with practical developer-experience improvements like CI/CD, BFFs, and shared component libraries. Based in Vancouver and recently completing an MEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering, he blends rigorous academic foundations with a tinkerer’s curiosity—summed up on GitHub as “Magician.”
