Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Zhou is a Senior Software Engineering Manager with 11 years of experience building scalable frontend and infrastructure systems, now leading a hyper-lean team (Pounce!) at Workday focused on enabling LLM-driven conversational, extraction, and agentic features. He combines hands-on engineering pedigree from roles at Evisort, Facebook, and Roam Analytics with a people-first management philosophy he calls "growing beautiful software," emphasizing tailored environments for individual development. Chris is fluent at balancing cutting-edge experimentation with pragmatic, scalable system design and iterative stakeholder collaboration across Product, Design, Eng, and ML. A physics and mathematics graduate from Rice, he brings analytical rigor to complex product problems and a reflective outlook—evident in his Github aphorism about expression and understanding—that informs both technical decisions and mentorship.
