Summary
Fang Zhou is a founder and lead software engineer in Los Angeles with a decade of experience building software systems for transportation and healthcare domains. He blends deep transportation engineering expertise—especially Connected Automated Vehicles, speed harmonization, and CACC—with strong software engineering skills across Java, C/C++, C#, web stacks, databases, Android, and simulation tools like VISSIM and MATLAB/Simulink. His background spans federal research projects at Leidos, academic optimization and web-tool development at Mississippi State, and production Java work in healthcare and reinsurance systems, showing an ability to move algorithms from research into robust server and client applications. Comfortable from low-level algorithm design to full-stack delivery, he also applies statistical modeling and data-mining techniques (regression, neural nets) to real-world traffic and incident-management problems. As an entrepreneur he now leads JFL Solutions, translating domain research into practical products—an unusual combination of transportation research rigor and hands-on software craftsmanship.
