Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGates Zeng is a software engineer with a decade of experience building full-stack systems and distributed tooling, currently on DoorDash’s Delivery Experience team in San Francisco. He holds a Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ML & Data Science) from UC San Diego and has driven measurable impact at ServiceNow—shipping a search experience for 300k+ users, improving page load times by 30%, and streamlining deployment workflows. His background spans networking, embedded systems, and cloud automation from internships at MaXentric, IBM, Gigamon, and others, reflecting strong systems-level intuition and pragmatic engineering. Gates pairs hands-on coding (AngularJS, JavaScript, Python, Kafka, MongoDB) with product-minded optimizations and access-control design, and is comfortable taking features from prototype to production in high-traffic environments. An underappreciated strength is his repeated focus on reducing operational friction—whether through deployment process overhauls or performance tuning—to amplify team velocity.
