Summary
Jacky Zhen is a product-oriented senior full stack developer with 11 years of experience building and shipping SaaS products end-to-end, currently delivering modern full-stack JavaScript and GraphQL solutions at Joyous in Auckland. He pairs pragmatic, language-agnostic engineering with a strong data and systems background from roles at Movio—working on high-volume ETL, Kafka, Elasticsearch and cloud-native tooling—and earlier cloud and .NET experience at Vista. Jacky thrives in fast-moving startups, having helped design core products, CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows while mentoring teams and conducting technical interviews. He prefers the right tool for the right task, moving fluidly between Go, Scala, Java and ES6 depending on needs, and is consistently hungry to learn new technologies. A First Class honours M.Sc. in Computer Science underscores his technical depth, and his pattern of joining early-stage teams suggests a knack for turning ambiguous product requirements into pragmatic, production-ready systems.
