Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJason Zhu is a Principal Group Engineering Manager with over 20 years at Microsoft and a decade-plus track record leading large-scale audience intelligence and targeting systems from data instrumentation to near-real-time serving. He built and scaled user intent and segmentation platforms that drove over $500M in ad revenue influence, designed petabyte-scale pipelines and low-latency user stores, and applied a mix of ML approaches (logistic regression, XGBoost, LSTM, collaborative filtering) to improve marketplace and ad RPM. A hands-on engineering leader, he hires and develops senior technical leaders while owning end-to-end architecture and privacy controls across billions of users. Notably, his early work on .NET data access APIs contributed to object-oriented data access patterns that influenced later technologies like LINQ. Based in Redmond, he blends deep systems design, applied ML, and product impact to extend audience understanding beyond advertising into cloud and enterprise scenarios.
