Summary
👤
SeniorEric Zhang is a software engineer, researcher, and designer with eight years of experience building distributed systems, programming languages, graphics, and interaction-focused products. As a founding engineer and later principal engineer at Modal, he shaped core infrastructure decisions—authoring the container runtime, advocating for Rust and Svelte early on, and leading infra research for high-availability networking, serverless HTTP, and eBPF-driven private networking. He thrives in small teams where engineering, design, and long-term technical direction intersect, and his open-source work has reached millions of users. Eric combines academic rigor (MS and BA from Harvard in CS and Mathematics) with hands-on product delivery, from VR teleoperation to ML infra and low-latency systems. Based in New York, he brings a human-centered view of computing—believing technology should amplify people’s ideas and joy—and prefers roles where technical craft meets delightful user experiences.
