Summary
Jay Zhang is a software engineer with nine years of experience building high-throughput, distributed systems and microservices using Java, C/C++, and Python. He has strong foundations in algorithms, OS, networking and system design, and practical expertise with Spring ecosystem, AWS, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Docker and RESTful APIs. Jay has shipped production services at scale at Amazon and contributed to real-time, sensor and simulation systems (including a 3k+ QPS air-quality pipeline and a flight simulation platform) demonstrating expertise in data ingestion, messaging and observability. His academic background spans USC, UC Berkeley and USTB, blending electrical engineering and computer science—an unusual mix that has enabled him to work from low-level OS and SoC projects to cloud-native architectures. Based in Seattle, he’s comfortable designing end-to-end systems and optimizing for throughput, latency and reliability.
