Summary
George Zhou is a seasoned Lead API Developer with over two decades in application software and more than 15 years focused on Java/JEE, now leading API and Salesforce integration efforts at CIBC. He combines hands-on architecture and coding—designing API gateways, orchestration frameworks and middleware adapters—with practical product delivery, having migrated lending/account-open flows into nCino and implemented deep integrations with Equifax, TransUnion, DocuSign and Interac. A pragmatic leader and builder, he has repeatedly cut delivery time via reusable frameworks (e.g., Blockworkx) and has strong experience across Spring Boot/Cloud, Kotlin, Angular and enterprise document and e-signature workflows. Notably detail-oriented, George holds four SUN Java certifications with top scores and often builds developer-facing tools (generic API test tools, auto-rename generators and auto-gen Salesforce object flows) to simplify complex integrations. Based in Toronto, he blends legacy-system fluency (mainframe connectors, host integrations) with modern cloud-native patterns to move risky migrations into stable production.
