Dong Zhang is a Senior Staff Engineer with 11 years of deep experience building Linux-based network operating systems and large-scale data center networking solutions. He has strong systems and networking expertise in C/C++, Python and Go, with hands-on work across ASIC/SAI, SONiC, switching/routing, ACL/QoS, and control/management planes. Dong has driven production networking software at Cisco and Alibaba and now applies that domain knowledge to cloud-native and data-centric engineering at Netskope. He blends low-level protocol and OS experience (TCP/IP, L2/3) with distributed system design and cloud deployments on GCP, making him effective at bridging hardware, OS, and cloud stacks. An occasional data engineer, he shifted from building routers to developing applications for Netskope’s data centers and cloud, demonstrating adaptability and breadth. Based in San Jose, he pairs rigorous academic foundations from OSU and BUPT with practical, high-scale networking delivery.
