Jack Zhou is a software engineer based in New York with six years of industry experience, currently building systems at Citadel after progressing from multiple internships to a full-time engineering role. He brings a strong co-op software engineering foundation from the University of Waterloo combined with a prior scientific training in cell biology and mathematics from McGill, giving him a data-minded, analytical approach to problem solving. His background includes internships at Google and Facebook and early product work at Primate Labs and Autodesk, reflecting comfort across high-scale search, consumer platforms, and performance tooling. At Citadel he has moved from intern to full-time contributor, indicating an ability to deliver in demanding, production-critical environments. Colleagues would find him equally at home optimizing backend services and reasoning about algorithmic trade-offs thanks to his cross-disciplinary education and hands-on experience. A detail that sets him apart is the blend of biological sciences and software engineering education, which often informs his methodical, experiment-driven engineering style.
